Determining the Maximum Shearing Stress in a Beam

What is the maximum shearing stress in the beam?

Calculation of Maximum Shearing Stress

To determine the maximum shearing stress in a beam, we can use the formula for shear stress, which is:

Shear Stress = Shear Force / Cross-sectional Area

The maximum shearing stress occurs when the shear force is at its highest, leading to the maximum stress on the cross-sectional area of the beam.
