Shear stress zero in Neutral Axis.

Yes, answer is right, shear stress =SAy'/Ib,

Where, S=shear force, A =area, y'=distance of centroid of area from NA. I=moi, b=width, Here, A and y' are varied wrt y, when you take the values of both in equation and after differenciating it, you will get, y=0, (consider a elementary area at a why distance from NA).

Bending stress is zero.

But shear stress is maximum.

£max=1.5F/A=1.5F/bd.
So C is right.

Siddu hg said:   8 years ago
A is correct answer.

Joy said:   8 years ago
Shear stress is zero where the bending moment is maximum.

Ayan said:   8 years ago
Max at center. It is shear stress.

Ayan said:   8 years ago
I think the Answer is A.

Vikas Tomar said:   9 years ago
Maximum at center.

The shear stress varies parabolically in the beam. It is maximum at the center and zero at fibres. The maximum shear force at neutral axis is given by s = 3F/2bd.
