Problem \#3: (30 points) A thin-walled, closed, two-celled cross-section with one rectangular and one triangular cell is shown in Figure 3. The lengths of the midlines of the walls and the thicknesses of the walls are shown on the figure. The cross section is subjected to an overall counterclockwise torque \( T=20\mathrm{kN}-\mathrm{m}\)(not shown on the figure). The shear modulus of the entire cross section is a constant \( G=25\mathrm{GPa}\).
a) Find the shear flows everywhere (i.e. on each wall) on the cross-section. Draw a clear picture of the cross section to describe where and in what direction the shear flows act.
b) Calculate the corresponding shear stresses everywhere on the cross section, as well.
c) Find the angle of twist/length \(\theta \), and find the torsional rigidity T.R. of the cross section. Figure 3
