Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given an I-beam with a total shear force of 500 N, width at the flanges = 150 mm, and height = 300 mm, calculate the shear stress at the neutral axis.
💡 Hint: Carefully compute the moment of inertia based on A and b values.
Question 2
Analyze the shear stress variation for a circular beam of diameter 200 mm and total shear V = 600 N. How would you determine τ at different radial positions?
💡 Hint: Focus on understanding shear at centroid vs. outer radius.
