Shear force at different parts of beam

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating shear stress at a specific point on a beam, focusing on the formula τ = VQ / It. The user is uncertain whether to use the maximum shear force (48.33) or the shear force at 2 meters from the pinned support (18.33) for their calculations. Participants confirm that the correct approach is to use the shear force at the specific section, which is 18.33. This clarification helps solidify the user's understanding of shear stress calculations in beam theory. The conversation emphasizes the importance of using the appropriate shear force for accurate stress determination.

Homework Statement


i know this question can't be done(since the location of point where the tau 1 and tau2 are measured are unknown) , but i want just want to check whether my concept is correct or not . we know that the shear stress has formula of $$\tau = VQ / It$$ , the question want the shear stress at 2m from the pinned support .

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


so , the V used to find the shear stress is the maximum shear stress(48.33), right ? it's not the shear force V at the section 2m from pinned support(18.33) , as i indicated in the digram . Correct me if I'm wrong
