Figure shows a flat bar that has a uniform thickness of 20 mm. The depth tapers from h1 = 40 mm to h2= 20 mm in order to save weight. Compute the stress due to bending in the bar at points spaced 40 mm apart from the support to the load. Then create a graph of stress versus distance from the support. The bar is symmetrical with respect to its middle. Let P = 5.0 kN.
