Assuming the thickness of the bracket as t Area of cross section A= b*t = 0.04*t Direct stress Sd= P/A Bending stress Sb=(M*c)/I where c=w+ t/2 i.e., 0.05+ t/2 M=P*t/2 I=(b*(t^3))/12 Maximum tensile stress: S=Sb+Sd S=(P/A)+((M*c)/I) On simplifying above equation, we get (S*b)t^2 - (4P)t - 6Pw = 0 30=(500/t)+(155*(100+t) / t^2 Standardizing the dimension, we get t=111.5 mm The corresponding stress induced is 30.00 MN/m^2
