HW2: A small balcony constructed of wood is supported by three

identical cantilever beams. Each beam has length of 𝐿1 = 2.1 𝑚, width
𝑏, and height ℎ = 4𝑏/3. The dimensions of the balcon floor are 𝐿1 × 𝐿2,
with 𝐿2 = 2.5𝑚. The design load is 5.5 𝑘𝑃𝑎 acting over the entire area
(This load accounts for all loads except the weights of the cantilever
beams, which have a weight density 𝛾 = 5.5 𝑘𝑁/𝑚3 ). The allowable
stress in the cantilevers is 15 𝑀𝑃𝑎. Assuming that the middle
cantilever supports 50% of the load and each outer cantilever supports
25% of the load, determine the required dimensions 𝑏 and h.

Solve this problem 02

Calculate the weigh of the beam using the following Equation:

q0 = 5.5(103)N/m3(b*4b/3)(m)
