The ratio of the length and depth of a simply supported rectangular beam which experiences maximum bending stress equal to tensile stress, due to same load at its mid span, is
A. $$\frac{1}{2}$$
B. $$\frac{2}{3}$$
C. $$\frac{1}{4}$$
D. $$\frac{1}{3}$$
Answer: Option B

let point load P act on beam at mid. Height of beam h, width b , effective depth d and length=L, in the case we consider h=d
Tensile stress= P/(bd)
Bending moment M= (PL/4), and moment on inertia I = (bd^3)/12, and distance of extreme fiber is C=d/2
Bending Stress= MC/I, then .................................

Please any one will explain it
Bending stress(sigma) to tensile(P) ratio=?
M/I=Sigma/y
Or Sigma=(M/I)×y=M/Z
Or sigma=(wl/4)/(bd^2/6)=(3wl)/(2bd^2)
Tensile stress , P =force /area=w/bd
So..... ratio of bending stress to tensile stress ,
Sigma=P
Or (3wl)/(2bd^2)= w/bd
Or l/d =2/3
From these relations
M/I=F/Y
TENSILE STRESS= P/A
GIVEN F=TENSILE STRESS
SO L/D= 2/3
Bending Stress=M(max)/Z
=(PL/4)/(I/y)
=(PL/4)/[(bd^3/12)/(d/2)]
=(PL/4)/[bd^2/6]
=3PL/2bd^2
Now,
Tensile Stress=P/A
=P/bd.
Since, according to question,
Bending Stress=Tensile Stress
PL/2bd^2=P/bd.
====> L/d=2/3
