Wooden beams and steel plates are securely bolted together to form the composite member shown. Assume E = 2,000 ksi and the allowable normal stress is 2 ksi for the wood. Assume E = 29,000 ksi and the allowable normal stress is 22 ksi for the steel. Determine the largest permissible moment, M_max when the member is bent about a horizontal axis. M_max = in-k
