Two orientations of a 1 m length cantilever beam are to be considered as shown in Figure Q2(a). The beam is loaded with a uniformly distributed load w. The dimensions of the cross-section are shown in Figure Q2(b). (a) Choose the orientation that will support the highest amount of w if the allowable bending stress (in tension and compression) is 250 MPa.
