Arectangular beam 10 cm wide, is subjected to a maximum shear force of 5 n, the corresponding maximum shear stress being 3 n/mm2 the depth of beam is (a) 25 cm (c) 16.67 cm (b) 22 cm (d) 30 cm

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Shear stress is the ratio of shear force to area.

We have

       Shear stress = 3 N/mm² = 3 x 10⁶ N/m²

       Area = Area of rectangle = 10 x 10⁻² x d = 0.1d

       Shear force = 50000 N

Substituting

Width of beam = 16.67 cm

Option B is the correct answer.

v=ir = 3x15 =45 v
