Let ‘x’ be no. of defective pieces. 


Q9. Consider a simply supported beam of length, 50h, with a rectangular cross-section of depth, h, and width, 2h. The beam carries a vertical point load, P, at its mid-point. The ratio of the maximum shear stress to the maximum bending stress in the beam is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Given, b = 2h, d = h, l = 50h, force = p
