Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A circular beam experiences a uniform radial load of 500 N/m. Calculate the maximum shear stress at the center and compare it with the shear stress at the edge.
💡 Hint: Consider how load affects each section differently based on distance.
Describe how increasing diameter affects shear stress distribution in a circular beam under the same loading conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about how area under load influences stress with larger diameters.
