Any engineering student using "Mechanics of Materials - Ferdinand Beer & Russel Johnston" ??
I am having a BIG problem with problem 6.33, Shearing Stresses in Beams.
"two 20x100mm and two 20x180mm boards are glued to form a 120x200mm box beam. Vertical shear V = 3.5Kn is applied. Determine average shearing stress on the two glue joints. (there are a total of 4 glued joints, but 2 are identical).
the only thing really killing me is how to determine the "Q" for each case.
Anyone done this problem ?
Or maybe a link to a webpage with solved problems for this book ?? he he he.. I know it is outthere.. but I cannot find it... that would help a LOT
