A rectangular beam section of size 300 mm (width) X 500

A rectangular beam section of size 300 mm (width) X 500 mm (depth) is loaded with a shear force of 600 kN. The maximum shear stress on the section in N/mm² is ____________________

Maximum shear stress in a beam section =	3		F
	2		A

F = shear , Force A = cross-sectional Area
So, Maximum shear stress in a beam will be

τ_max =	3		600 × 1000
	2		300 × 500

τ_max = 6 N / mm²
