Question: Figure 1 ( a ) shows a thin - walled cantilever beam. The cross - section of the beam has a ( Z

Figure 1(a) shows a thin-walled cantilever beam. The cross-section of the beam has a \( Z \) shape, and its dimensions are given in Fig. 1(b). A vertical force \( F_{y}=100\mathrm{~N}\) is applied at the cantilever tip \((Z=2\mathrm{~m})\) while the other end of the beam is clamped \((Z=0)\). Moreover, the force is applied at the shear centre of the cross-section. The wall thickness '\( t \)' equals 1 mm .
Figure 1: cantilever beam.
For the most loaded section of the beam
(a) Calculate the direct stress and draw it.
(b) Calculate the shear flow and draw it.
