A simply supported wood beam (Figure A) with a span of L = 5.8 m supports a uniformly distributed load of wo. The beam width is b = 120 mm and the beam height is h = 280 mm (Figure B). The allowable bending stress of the wood is 7.5 MPa. Calculate the magnitude of the maximum load wo that may be carried by the beam. Wo h B C 2L FIGURE A Wo = MI N/m b FIGURE B
