SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the selection of shear force values in beam stress calculations, specifically why the larger shear force of 19.5 kN is used instead of 6.5 kN. The formula for shear stress, τ = VQ / It, indicates that the shear force (V) directly influences the calculated shear stress. The consensus is that the maximum shear force at the right end of the beam, which is 19.5 kN, governs the design to ensure safety and structural integrity. Therefore, for beam design, always opt for the larger shear force to determine the maximum shear stress.
