A timber beam AB of length L and rectangular cross section carries a single concentrated load P at its midpoint C. (a) Show that the ratio Tm/ m of the maximum values of the shearing and normal stresses in the beam is equal to h/2L, where h and L are, respectively, the depth and the length of the beam.

A cable AB of span L and a simple beam A'B' of the same span are subjected to identical vertical loadings as shown. Show that the magnitude of the bending moment at a point C' in the beam is equal to the product T0h, where T0 is the magnitude of the horizontal component of the tension force in the cable and h is the vertical distance between point C and the chord joining the points of support A and B.
Straight rods of 0.30-in. diameter and 200-ft length are sometimes used to clear underground conduits of obstructions or to thread wires through a new conduit. The rods are made of high-strength steel and, for storage and transportation, are wrapped on spools of 5-ft diameter. Assuming that the yield strength is not exceeded, determine (a) the maximum stress in a rod, when the rod, which was initially straight, is wrapped on the spool, (b) the corresponding bending moment in the rod. Use E= 29 * 106 psi.
