Two toy blocks are stacked to form an L-shape. Each block has dimensions a = 8.7 mm and b = 26.1 mm. Determine the vertical distance from the table to the centroid of the shape.

A snow drift acts like a linearly distributed load on the beam. Determine the vertical reaction force at the right end of the beam. Let w = 20.5 lb/ft, a = 6 ft, and b = 6 ft.

A 45-N eagle sits on a tee-shaped post that has a diameter of 47 mm. Determine the magnitude of the largest normal stress in the vertical part of the post. Let a = 0.40 m be the distance from the eagle to the centroid of the post.

A piece of composite-lumber flooring is a = 68 mm wide. It consists of a layer of pine [E = 7.4 GPa] that is b = 14 mm thick and a layer of cherry [E = 10.1 GPa] that is c = 6 mm thick. Determine the distance to the centroid of the transformed section from the bottom of the board.

A 9.0-lb pterodactyl stands at a = 4.3 ft on a limb. Determine the maximum bending moment in the limb.

A baby elephant lays on a simply-supported beam causing its weight to act like a uniformly distributed load of 47 lb/ft. Determine the vertical reaction force at the right end of the beam. Let a = 2.9 ft and b = 5.3 ft.

Bending moment M = 135 lb-ft is applied to a rectangular block that has dimensions a = 5.0 in., b = 2.1 in., and c = 5.0 in. Determine the magnitude of the largest bending stress in the block.
