In this problem we need to give the sign of the stresses at point c.I assumed the A and B as support point and C as mid point .
I shown all the calculation and reason for the answer.Here,note that the stress in x direction is the bending stress and it is positive since it causes tension in the upper most fiber.We can see the deformed shape of the beam.
Hope it will help you to understand the concept.

The steel beam ABCD shown in the figure is simply supported at Cand supported at Band D by shoulder steel bolts, each having a diameter of 10 mm. The lengths of BE and DF are 50 mm and 60 mm, respectively. The beam has a second area moment of 21 x 103 mm4. Prior to loading, the members are stress free. A force of P= 2000 N is then applied at point A. Using procedure 2 of Sec. 4– 10,...
L uestion from this section) Question 5 A simply supported beam has a span of 6 m and supports a concentrated load P 108 kN, as shown in Figure Q5. The beam has a rectangular cross section that is 0.2 m wide and 0.6 m high. Points A, B and C are located at a cross section 0.9 m away from the left support of the beam. Point A is located at the top of the beam, C is at...
A simply supported 2 x 4 beam spans 10 feet. It is designed to handle two equal concentrated loads of 200 lbs. The loads occur at 30" from each end. The beam is made of Douglas Fir (Young's Modulus 1.95 x 105 PSI). Assume that the beam is oriented in the proper direction to minimize stress.
