Practice objective / multiple choice question 5 from the 2018 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
A simply supported rectangular steel beam has a width of 200 mm and an unknown height \(h\) (mm). The beam spans \(L = 3\ \text{m}\) and carries a central point load \(P\). The steel has a yield stress of 250 MPa and a factor of safety of 1.5. If the beam height is 300 mm, calculate the maximum load \(P\) (in kN, to the nearest kilonewton) that can be applied without exceeding the allowable bending stress.
