The section modulus of a rectangular light beam 25 metres long is 12.500 cm3. The beam is simply supported at its ends and carries a longitudinal axial tensile load of 10 tonnes in addition to a point load of 4 tonnes at the centre. The maximum stress in the bottom most fibre at the mid span section, is

C. 26.67 kg/cm2 tensile
D. 26.67 kg/cm2 compressive
E. none of these.
Correct Answer
26.67 kg/cm2 tensile
