A cantilever beam has a span of 1 m and carries a uniformly distributed load of q = 1250 N/m over a portion as shown. A force F =1000 N acts at a distance L from the fixed end. The distance L is such that the bending moment at the fixed end is zero. The beam has a rectangular cross-section of depth 20 mm and width 24 mm. For this loading, the magnitude of the maximum bending stress in the beam in MPa is________________(round off to the nearest integer)
Answer: 123 to 127
