Hence, the maximum tensile stress is 49.3 MPa at the top fibre left of B and
the maximum compressive stress is 97.0 MPa at the bottom fibre left of B.
Alternatively, depending on accuracy, your answer may be:
Maximum tensile stress is 49 MPa at the top fibre left of B or at the bottom
fibre right of B.
