39.
A body is subjected to two normal stresses 20 kN/m2 (tensile) and 10 kN/m2 (compressive) acting perpendicular to each other. The maximum shear stress is
5 kN/m2
10 kN/m2
15 kN/m2
20 kN/m2

Sign conventions: Tensile +ve and Compressive is -ve.

So, both Sagar and Sandeep answers are correct.

I agree with you @Sagar M.

Answer is 15KN/m2 because compressive stress will be taken as negative.

Unlike in nature i.e. sigma 1=20 and sigma 2 = -10.

So max shear stress = (20 - (-10) )/2 = 15.

Max. shear stress = radius of mohr's circle = [{(sigma1 - sigma2)/2}^2 + tow^2]^0.5.

ANIL said:   3 years ago
maximum shear stress = (stress1- stress2)/2.
= (20-(-10))/2.
= 30/2,
= 15.

5 is the answer.

Tmax=""(σx - σy)^2/2.
""(20-10)^2/2=5kN/m2.

They are acting perpendicular to each other. What does this mean?

Pavan said:   1 decade ago
Answer is wrong maximum shear stress is 20-10/2 = 5KN/m2.

{20-(-10)}/2=15 as 10kN is compressive force (-ve).

I didn't get that can you elaborate please.
