A cantilever of circular solid cross section is fixed at one end and carries a concentrated load P at the free end. The diameter at the free end is 200mm and increases uniformly to 400 mm at the fixed end over a length of 2m. At what distance from the free will the bending stresses in the cantilever be maximum? Also calculate the value of the maximum bending stress if the concentrated load P=300 KN
(a) 1.23 m, 12.32 MPa
(b) 1.5 m, 11.23 MPa
(c) 1.0 m, 11.32 MPa
(d) 1.33 m, 13.42 MPa
