A simply supported beam is required to span 5m carrying a design uniformly distributed load (inclusive of the beam's self-weight) of 20kN/m. The beam is made of timber and has a rectangular cross section. Assuming the permissible stress of the beam is 8 N/mm². Choose a suitable depth for the beam if the breadth is to be 150 mm. Sketch your final answer of the cross section showing depth and breadth.
