A simply supported wood beam AB with span length 3.5 m carries a uniform load of intensity 6.4 kN/m (see figure). The maximum bending stress allowed due to the load is 7 MPa. Determine the beam rectangular cross section so that beam failure can be avoided.

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
