The longitudinal shear is given by(a) τ = VAyIzt(b) τ = VAy/Izt(c) τ = VAy/Iz(d) τ = Vy/IztThe question was posed to me during an interview.This interesting question is from Shear Strength of Beams in division Design of Beams of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (b) τ = VAy/Izt

Best explanation: The longitudinal shear is given by τ = VAy/Izt, where V is vertical shear force at section under consideration, Iz is moment of inertia of entire section about zz-axis, neutral axis, Ay is STATIC moment of area of cross section, t is thickness of portion of cross section at which longitudinal shear is OBTAINED.
