The problem is asking to determine the dimensions of the transverse sections of a beam based on three different given configurations (circular, annular, and square). We are also given the following details:

- A uniformly distributed load of \(20 \, \text{kN/m}\) over the central 8 meters of the beam.
- A point load of \(40 \, \text{kN}\) at the center.
- The material has a maximum allowable stress of \( \sigma = 2000 \, \text{kg/cm}^2 \).
- For the annular section, the ratio \( d/D = 0.75 \) is provided.

To solve the problem, we'll:

1. **Analyze the beam structure**:
   - Calculate the reactions at supports due to the point load and the distributed load.
   - Calculate the bending moment at the critical section (typically the midpoint where the moment will be maximum).

2. **Determine the required section modulus**:
   - Use the maximum moment and the allowable stress to find the required section modulus \( S \) for each cross-sectional configuration.

3. **Relate section modulus to geometry**:
   - For each cross-section type (solid circle, annular, square), relate the section modulus to the geometric dimensions.

I'll calculate each of these steps now.The maximum bending moment at the center of the beam is \( 300,000 \, \text{Nm} \).

Now, using the relationship for the section modulus \( S \), which is given by:

\[
S = \frac{M}{\sigma}
\]

where \( M \) is the maximum moment and \( \sigma \) is the allowable stress, we can calculate the required section modulus for each of the three cross-sectional shapes (solid circular, annular, and square). I'll calculate that next.The required section modulus is \( 0.015 \, \text{m}^3 \) (or \( 15,000 \, \text{cm}^3 \)).

Next, I will determine the dimensions of the cross-sectional shapes that meet this required section modulus:

1. **Solid circular section**: The section modulus \( S \) for a solid circular section is given by:
   \[
   S = \frac{\pi D^3}{32}
   \]

2. **Annular section**: The section modulus \( S \) for an annular section (a hollow circle) is given by:
   \[
   S = \frac{\pi (D^4 - d^4)}{32 D}
   \]
   where \( d/D = 0.75 \).

3. **Square section**: The section modulus \( S \) for a square section is given by:
   \[
   S = \frac{a^3}{6}
   \]
   where \( a \) is the side length of the square.

I'll now calculate the dimensions for each of these cases.The calculated dimensions for the different cross-sectional shapes are:

1. **Solid circular section**: Diameter \( D = 0.535 \, \text{m} \).
2. **Annular section**: Outer diameter \( D = 0.607 \, \text{m} \) (with \( d = 0.75D \), the inner diameter \( d = 0.455 \, \text{m} \)).
3. **Square section**: Side length \( a = 0.448 \, \text{m} \).

Let me know if you would like further details or if you have any questions. 

Here are some related questions you might explore:

1. What happens if the material's allowable stress changes?
2. How do different cross-sectional shapes affect the deflection of the beam?
3. What is the relationship between the beam's length and the bending moment?
4. How would adding supports change the maximum moment?
5. How do safety factors impact the design of these sections?

**Tip**: When designing beams, always ensure that the maximum moment is correctly identified, as it determines the necessary strength of the section.

Determine the dimensions of the transverse sections of a beam for three given configurations (solid circular, annular, and square) with a distributed load of 20 kN/m and a point load of 40 kN. The material has a maximum allowable stress of 2000 kg/cm², and for the annular section, the ratio d/D = 0.75.
