Two equal and op po site forces each Fact on
a rod of uniform cross-sectional area a as
shown in the figure. Shearing stress on the
section AB will be

  1. A \(\frac{F \sin \theta \cos \theta}{a}\)
  2. B \(\frac{F \sin \theta}{a}\)
  3. C \(\frac{F \cos \theta}{a}\)
  4. D \(\frac{F \sin ^2 \theta}{a}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{F \sin \theta \cos \theta}{a}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Shearing stress \[ \begin{aligned} & =-\frac{F \sin \theta}{a_x} \\ & =-\frac{F}{a} \sin \theta \cos \theta \end{aligned} \] Magnitude of shearing stress \[ =\frac{F}{a} \sin \theta \cos \theta \]
