How does the maximum shear stress vary along the length of shafts in series?
30. How does the maximum shear stress vary along the length of shafts in series?
- Maximum shear stress increases linearly
- Maximum shear stress decreases linearly
- Maximum shear stress varies randomly
- Maximum shear stress remains constant
Answer
The correct answer is: A) Maximum shear stress increases linearly
Explanation
Maximum shear stress tends to accumulate along the length of shafts in series, as the load is distributed over multiple shafts. This results in a linear increase in maximum shear stress.
