Calculate Maximum Bending Moments & Stress

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the maximum bending moments and stress for a see-saw design, it's essential to identify where these maximum values occur, typically at the supports or load points. The user seeks assistance in determining the maximum bending moment and stress to inform the weight of the beam needed for structural integrity. Providing initial calculations or attempts is necessary for others to offer targeted help. Understanding the load distribution and support reactions will also aid in accurately assessing the required beam specifications. Accurate calculations are crucial for ensuring the design can withstand the anticipated stresses.

If you want us to help us, you need to show us what you have done to attempt the question.
Because you haven't done that, I'll just ask a question.

Where will the maximum bending moment and therefore maximum stress occur on the see-saw?
 
At the spring, i need to find out the max bending moment and stress, so i will know how to find the weight of the beam i need to use in my design that can withstand that maximum stress, can u help me please?
