Unless otherwise noted in the following problem, assume that the beam cross section is oriented so the strong axis is the bending axis.
A 3-in.-by-12-in. (S4S) scaffold timber plank is laid flat-wise on supports that are 8 ft apart. Calculate the allowable uniformly distributed load that can be carried by the plank. The allowable bending stress is 1600 psi and the allowable shear stress is 100 psi. Neglect the weight of the plank.
