Mechanics of Materials: Cross Sectional Area Problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a Mechanics of Materials problem involving the visualization of a 3D structure to determine the cross-sectional area at two shear points, labeled "a" and "b." The user seeks assistance in understanding the geometry and dimensions of these cylindrical surfaces, which have varying radii and depths. Participants are encouraged to provide diagrams or visual aids to clarify the problem. The goal is to accurately calculate the cross-sectional areas for analysis. Clear communication and visual representation are emphasized as critical for solving the problem effectively.

Can you draw a diagram looking down the axis? Both areas are cylindrical surfaces, with different radii and depth..
