How to calculate bending stress?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking how to determine the bending stress in a structural element, which typically involves using the formula for bending stress based on the moment of inertia and the distance from the neutral axis.

Answer

σ = My/I

The final answer is σ = My/I

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is σ = My/I

More Information

The bending stress formula, σ = My/I, helps engineers ensure beams are strong enough to withstand applied loads without bending excessively.

Tips

A common mistake is neglecting the sign of the bending moment. Ensure correct sign conventions are used.
