Question: For the closed beam section subjected to a vertical shear force S y = 5 k N acting through the shear center as shown in

For the closed beam section subjected to a vertical shear force Sy=5kN acting through the shear center as shown in Fig. 1(a), determine:
(i) the shear flow distribution in terms of s1,s2 and s3 as shown in Fig. 1(b) and the shear flow at points 1,2,3? and 4?(1? and 4? are at the mid height of the two vertical spar panel); and (ii) the position of the shear center Scx.
(hint: make a cut at point 1 in Fig. 1(b) and introduce an unknown shear flow qs0; and assume positive shear flow in clockwise direction)
