Problem 1.

For the beam and loading shown in Figure 1, consider section n-n and determine (i) maximum

transverse shear stress in section n-n, (ii) transverse shear stress at point "a" in section n-n (point "a"

is located in the web), (iii) transverse shear stress at point "b" in section n-n.

(Section n-n is located 100 mm from support at A)
