The overhang beam is subjected to the uniform distributed load having an intensity of w = 50 kn/m. determine the maximum shear stress developed in the beam.

Given:

Uniform distributed load with an intensity of W = 50 kN / m on an overhang beam.

We need to determine the maximum shear stress developed in the beam:

τ = F/A

Assuming the area of the beam is 100 m^2 with a length of 10 m.

τ = F/A

τ = W/l

τ = 50kN/m / 10 m

τ = 5kN/m^2

τ = 5000 N / m^2
