Q9.24Multiple choice
Consider a long steel bar under a tensile stress due to forces F acting at the edges along the length of the bar (Fig. 9.5). Consider a plane making an angle θ with the length. What are the tensile and shearing stresses on this plane? F F a' Fig. 9.5
This question refers to a figure in the original PDF.
- (a)For what angle is the tensile stress a maximum?
- (b)For what angle is the shearing stress a maximum?
