Question : 122 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

A rectangular log of wood is floating in water with a load of 100 N at its centre. The maximum shear force in the wooden log is

Solution:

As log of wood is floating in water, hence subjected to udl
At equilibrium, WL = 100
The maximum shear force in the wooden log is at the centre is

S_X = W ×(L/2)

= (100/L) × (L/2)

S_X=100/2= 50N
