The longitudinal axis of a beam is aligned with the x axis. The beam has a triangular cross-section, as shown above. The loading on the beam produces the bending moment diagram for M(x) shown above. a) Provide the x - y coordinates of the point on the beam that experiences the largest magnitude compressive normal stress. b) Provide the x - y coordinates of the point on the beam that experiences the largest magnitude tensile normal stress.
