Shear force at different parts of beam

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the calculation of shear stress at a specific point (2m from a pinned support) in a beam, focusing on the appropriate values to use in the shear stress formula. The context is primarily homework-related, involving concepts of shear force and stress in structural analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes that the shear stress formula $$\tau = VQ / It$$ is relevant but questions whether to use the maximum shear stress or the shear force at the specific section (18.33).
  • Another participant confirms that the problem requires determining the shear stresses at 2m and suggests using the value of 18.33.
  • A subsequent reply reiterates the suggestion to use 18.33 for the calculation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is a lack of consensus on whether to use the maximum shear stress or the shear force at the section 2m from the pinned support, although one participant suggests using the latter.

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
