16. You have designed a lovely desk similar to the one shown in the figure below. The thickness is 82 mm, the width is 750 mm and the unsupported span is 1300 mm. You have made the desk from Poplar having a bending strength of 68 MPa. You are very protective of this desk, however, when you step away to eat a healthy meal, one of your family members stands in the middle of the unsupported span to reach up to hang a picture on the wall. If your family member weighs 63 kg will the desk break?
