Problem 6.27 - Statically Indeterminate Problems

Problem Statement

A steel rod of diameter d = 40 mm is attached to walls A and C as shown. Two forces F = 2 kN are applied at distance L = 100 mm. If the shear modulus of the rod G = 75 GPa, determine the maximum shear stress in the rod.

A steel rod is attached between two walls. The load is applied to a perpendicular rod at a distance L from the steel rod. The steel rod has diameter d, the distance between the AB is 40 cm, and the distance between BC is 30 cm. [Problem adapted from © Kurt Gramoll CC BY NC-SA 4.0]
