Question
Determine the maximum shear force $V$ that the strut can support if the allowable shear stress for the material is $\tau_{\text {allow }}=40 \mathrm{MPa}$
Step 1
We need to know the dimensions of the strut to calculate its cross-sectional area. Let's assume the strut has a rectangular cross-section with width b and height h. Then, the cross-sectional area A can be calculated as: A = b * h Show more…
