Question
A curved bar of rectangular section of $20\text{ mm}$ width, $30\text{ mm}$ depth and mean radius of curvature of $50\text{ mm}$ is initially unstressed. If a bending moment of $350\text{Nm}$ is applied to the bar which tends to straighten it, determine the stresses at the inner and outer surfaces and sketch a diagram to show the variation of stress across the section. Also find the position of the neutral axis.
