Homework Statement
Determine the shear stress, [itex]\tau[/itex]E, at point E that corresponds to the maximum shear force along the length of the beam. V = 25kN
b= 55 mm
c=150 mm
d=110 mm
e=65 mm
Homework Equations
[itex]\tau[/itex]E = [itex]\frac{V*Q}{I*t}[/itex]
Q = [itex]\bar{y}[/itex]'*A'
The Attempt at a Solution
I was able to find the shear stress for point D, but I'm having trouble finding point E. How do I find Q for that point? I read an example in my textbook but there was not much of an explanation.
Is point E the centroid for the area when the neutral axis is at point D? If this is the case, I would be able to find the shear stress.
