Calculate σx for ri = 1 cm
Remember elementary statics? It gives the bending stress at point O as
...
Using my calculator, I get σx=-101.7 MPa. We'll check the MATLAB result against this value.
Calculate σx at point O
In your program, leave a blank line and start a new section for calculating σx at point O with an explanatory comment line. Then, create the parameters M, ro, and ri since these are needed to calculate σx.
...
The factor 10^-6^ above converts the result into MPa. The semi-colon at the end of the line is left off so that we can see what the resulting value of sigma_x is. Click on the Run icon in the editor (or hit the F5 key) . What is the value of sigma_x reported by your program? I get
...
This is close enough to my paper-and-pencil result of -101.7 MPaaboveMPa above. See my entire program here (opens in a new windowright click and select save target as, or just left-click and copy-paste in the editor).
