shear stress distribution

Explain the concept of shear stress in a beam.

• The maximum bending moment

• The ratio of force to area

• The ratio of moment to area

• The ratio of shear force to area

Which beam cross-section has the highest shear stress?

• I-beam

• Circular

• Rectangular

• Triangular

Which of the following is true for the distribution of shear stress in a beam?

• Shear stress is constant throughout the beam cross-section

• Shear stress varies linearly across the beam cross-section

• Shear stress is highest at the neutral axis of the beam cross-section

• Shear stress is zero at the neutral axis of the beam cross-section

Which of the following factors affects the shear stress in a beam?

• The applied load

• The length of the beam

• The material properties of the beam

• The width of the beam

What is the significance of the maximum shear stress in a beam?

• It determines the load-carrying capacity of the beam

• It determines the deflection of the beam

• It determines the shape of the beam cross-section

• It determines the moment of inertia of the beam
