A beam ABC with an overhang from B to C is constructed of a C 10 × 30 channel section with flanges facing upward (sec figure). The beam supports its own weight (30 lb/ft) plus a triangular load of maximum intensity g0 acting on the overhang. The allowable stresses in tension and compression arc IS ksi and 12 ksi, respectively.
- Determine the allowable triangular load intensity allow if tne distance L equals 4 ft.
