Question 4: Shear stress in a beam (40 marks)
Consider the beam section illustrated in the figure to the
right. The beam has a shearing force of V = 5 kN acting vertically
through the shear center as illustrated. (a) Determine the shear
stress at the three points in the beam section labelled (i), (ii),
and (iii). [20 marks] (b) Produce a plot showing the direction and
distribution of shear stress across the beam section, noting the
shape of the...
