8. A concentrated load P acts on a cantilever as shown in Fig. 5. The beam is constructed of a
2024-T4 aluminum alloy having a yield strength yp = 290 MPa, L = 1.5 m, t = 20 mm, c =
60 mm and b = 80 mm. Based on a factor of safety n = 1.2 against initiation of yielding,
calculate the magnitude of P for (a)  = 0O and (b)  = 15O. Neglect the effect of shear in
bending and assume that beam twisting is prevented.
