A box of enclosed area \( 0.8 \) m\( ^2 \) must keep its shear flow below \( 150 \) kN/m. The largest torque it may carry is

  • A.240 kN m
  • B.120 kN m
  • C.480 kN m
  • D.188 kN m

Answer: A

Rearranging Bredt-Batho, \( T = 2Aq = 2 \times 0.8 \times 150 = 240 \) kN m. Note how directly the enclosed area buys torque capacity, which is why a deep, wide box is so much better in torsion than a slender one of the same material.
