Chapter 5, Problem 5.27(choose chapter or problem)
Determine (a) the magnitude of the counterweight W for which the maximum absolute value of the bending moment in the beam is as small as possible, (b) the corresponding maximum normal stress due to bending. (Hint: Draw the bending-moment diagram and equate the absolute values of the largest positive and negative bending moments obtained.)
