An extruded polymer beam is subjected to a bending moment M. The length of the beam is L = 500 mm. The cross-sectional dimensions of the beam are b₁ = 33 mm, d₁ = 109 mm, b₂ = 20 mm, d₂ = 20 mm, and a = 6.5 mm. For this material, the allowable tensile bending stress is 16 MPa, and the allowable compressive bending stress is 11 MPa. Determine the largest moment M that can be applied as shown to the beam.
