Shear Stresses in Beams MCQ with answer and solution

Medium level · Asked in State AE, State JE, GPSC AE

Which of the following cross sections will have least shear stress along horizontal axis as shown below:

Solution

Concept

Shear stress at the neutral axis

Step-by-step solution

1. The key identifies the cross-shaped section as having the least shear stress along the horizontal axis.

Explanation

The shape of the figure determines the value.

Why the other options are wrong

Other sections concentrate more area about the axis.

Correct answer: B) Cross (plus) section
