The vertical force P acts on the bottom of the plate having a negligible weight. Determine the shortest distance d to the edge of the plate at which it can be applied so that it produces no compressive stresses on the plate at section a–a. The plate has a thickness of 10 mm and P acts along the center line of this thickness.

\sigma_{A}=0=\sigma_{a}-\sigma_{b}

 

0=\frac{P}{A}-\frac{M c}{I}

 

0=\frac{P}{(0.2)(0.01)}-\frac{P(0.1-d)(0.1)}{\frac{1}{12}(0.01)\left(0.2^{3}\right)}

 

P(-1000+15000 d)=0

 

d=0.0667  \mathrm{m}=66.7  \mathrm{mm}
