Problem 2: A sample of giant reed is shaped into a beam with a square cross section of 15.5 mm by 15.5 mm. Two supports placed 22.1 mm apart support the sample and a load is applied halfway between the support points in order to test the force required to fracture the sample. If ultimate tensile strength is 912 MPa, what would be the force F (newtons) required to cause failure?
