Question

A beam having the cross section shown is subjected to a vertical shear $V$. Determine (a) the horizontal line along which the shearing stress is maximum, (b) the constant $k$ in the following expression for the maximum shearing stress $\tau_{max} = k \frac{V}{A}$ where $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the beam.
