Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam of length 3m and cross-section 0.05m² is subjected to a transverse load of 20kN. If the shear modulus is 85 GPa, calculate the total shear energy stored.

💡 Hint: Look closely at unit conversions for GPa to N/m².

Question 2

How would the shear energy change if the length of the beam is doubled while keeping other parameters constant?

💡 Hint: Consider the role of length in the formula again.
