### Beam Load Analysis

A simply supported beam of length 30 inches and a diameter of 2 inches is supported at points A and D. It is subjected to a load, \( P \), at points B and C as depicted (within two planes). The task is to calculate the largest value of \( P \) such that the bending stress along the x-direction at any point in the beam does not exceed 38 ksi (kips per square inch).

#### Diagram Explanation

The diagram portrays a horizontal beam supported at two ends: point A (on the left) and point D (on the right). The beam has two downward forces labeled \( P \) applied at points B and C, each located at intervals of 10 inches along the beam. The coordinates are given as follows:
- \( A \) is at the origin on the x-axis.
- \( B \) is 10 inches from \( A \).
- \( C \) is 10 inches from \( B \) and 20 inches from \( A \).
- \( D \) is 10 inches from \( C \) and 30 inches from \( A \).

### Calculation

Using the beam's properties and the conditions provided, determine the value of \( P \) that ensures the bending stress does not exceed the given limit of 38 ksi. Round down the result to the nearest 1/10th of a kip.

\[ P = \text{[Answer here]} \, \text{kip} \]

### Important Notes

- **Simply Supported Beam:** This type of beam is supported at both ends, allowing for easy calculation of reactions and bending moments under applied loads.
- **Units and Measurements:** Make sure to work within consistent units – inches for length, kips for force, and ksi for stress.
- **Safety Margin:** Ensure that calculated stresses remain within the specified limit for safe design and functionality.
