A single-cell box encloses \( 0.6 \) m\( ^2 \) and carries a torque of \( 120 \) kN m. The shear flow round the wall is

  • A.72 kN/m
  • B.100 kN/m
  • C.200 kN/m
  • D.50 kN/m

Answer: B

Correct answer: 100 kN/m

By the Bredt-Batho relation, \[ q = \frac{T}{2A} = \frac{120}{2 \times 0.6} = 100\ \mathrm{kN/m}. \] Note that \( A \) is the area enclosed by the median line of the wall, not the cross-sectional area of the material - confusing the two is the standard error in this calculation.
