Beam A is simply supported at its end and carries UDL of intensity ‘w’ over its entire length. It is made of steel having Young’s Modulus E. Beam B is cantilever and carries a UDL of intensity w/4 over its length. It is made of brass having young’s modulus E/2. The two beams are of the same length and have the same cross-sectional area. If σA and σB denote the maximum bending stresses developed in beams A and B, respectively, then which one of the following is correct?

σ = M / Z

Where Z is section modulus For beams with the same cross section, Z is the same. It is given that the cross sectional area is the same. We cannot infer that Z is same

Since, Z1 and Z2 depends on shape of cross section, hence σA / σB also depends on shape of

cross section.
