Question
Determine the maximum shear stress in the strut if it is subjected to a shear force of $V=20 \mathrm{kN}$
Step 1
First, we need to find the cross-sectional area of the strut. To do this, we need to know the dimensions of the strut (width, height, and thickness). Let's assume the strut has a rectangular cross-section with width (b) and height (h). Show more…
