Solved: Determine the resultant internal normal and shear

Problem 1-2

Determine the resultant internal normal and shear force in the member at (a) section aa and (b) section bb, each of which passes through the centroid A. The 500-lb load is applied along the centroidal axis of the member.

Step by step solution

Step 1 of 3

It is necessary to determine the internal shear force at point A in the cross section a - a and in the cross section b -b. Point A is on the line of the thesis.Refer to figure below.
