The compound beam shown in the figure consists of a cantilever beam AB (length L) that is pin-connected to a simple beam BD (length 2L). After the beam is constructed, a clearance c exists between the beam and a support at C, midway between points B and ZX Subsequently, a uniform load is placed along the entire length of the beam.

A temporary wood flume serving as a channel for irrigation water is shown in the figure. The vertical boards forming the sides of the flume are sunk in the ground, which provides a fixed support. The top of the flume is held by tic rods that are tightened so that there is no deflection of the boards at that point. Thus, the vertical boards may be modeled as a beam AB, supported and loaded as shown in the last part of the figure. Assuming that the thickness t of the boards is 1,5 in., the depth d of the water is 40 in., and the height h to the tie rods is 50 in., what is the maximum bending stress in the boards? Hint: The numerically largest bending moment occurs at the fixed support.
