    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
