Two tee beams are the same size and support the same shear force. Which beam has a larger maximum horizontal shear stress?

Load P = 8.0 lb is produced at the nylon tip of a Regal Tip Quantum 1000 drumstick as a percussionist strikes a drumhead. The hickory shaft has a diameter of 0.53 in. and a length of L = 10.0 in. from the center of the tip to the percussionist’s hand. Assuming the percussionist’s hand acts like a fixed support and that the shaft has a constant diameter, determine the magnitude of the maximum horizontal shear stress in the shaft.

Load P = 13.1 lb is produced at the tip of a Regal Tip Elite 7B drumstick as a percussionist strikes a drumhead. The hickory shaft has a diameter of 0.62 in. and a length of L = 10.1 in. from the center of the tip to the percussionist’s hand. Assuming the percussionist’s hand acts like a fixed support and that the shaft has a constant diameter, determine the magnitude of the maximum horizontal shear stress in the shaft.

A polymer tee beam of length L = 71 mm supports a load of P = 2.7 N at its center and has a web thickness of b = 2.0 mm. The vertical distance from the bottom of the beam to the centroid is c = 5.2797 mm. The moment of inertia around a horizontal axis located at the centroid is 182.69 mm4. Determine the horizontal shear stress at H, which is located a = 2.6 mm above the bottom of the beam.

A polymer tee beam of length L = 71 mm supports a load of P = 3.2 N at its center and has a web thickness of b = 2.0 mm. The vertical distance from the bottom of the beam to the centroid is c = 4.9347 mm. The moment of inertia around a horizontal axis located at the centroid is 147.03 mm4. Determine the horizontal shear stress at H, which is located a = 2.5 mm above the bottom of the beam.

A polymer beam of length L = 72 mm supports a load of P = 2.6 N at its center. The beam has cross-sectional dimensions b = 2.0 mm and h = 7.6 mm. Determine the value of Q that would be used to calculate the maximum horizontal shear stress.

Two bars have the same width. Which one has a smaller moment of inertia around its horizontal centroidal axis?

A polymer beam of length L = 71 mm supports a load of P = 4.0 N at its center. The beam has cross-sectional dimensions b = 2.5 mm and h = 8.5 mm. Determine the value of Q that would be used to calculate the maximum horizontal shear stress.

A polymer tee beam of length L = 76 mm supports a load of P = 2.2 N at its center and has a web thickness of b = 2.0 mm. The vertical distance from the bottom of the beam to the centroid is c = 5.0976 mm. The moment of inertia around a horizontal axis located at the centroid is 165.32 mm4. Determine the horizontal shear stress at H, which is located a = 3.5 mm above the bottom of the beam.

A polymer beam of length L = 77 mm supports a load of P = 4.9 N at its center. The beam has cross-sectional dimensions b = 2.2 mm and h = 8.5 mm. Determine the magnitude of the maximum horizontal shear stress.
