A closed section requires \( 240 \) kN m of torque capacity at a shear flow limit of \( 200 \) kN/m. The minimum enclosed area is

  • A.1.2 m^2
  • B.0.3 m^2
  • C.2.4 m^2
  • D.0.6 m^2

Answer: D

Correct answer: 0.6 m^2

Rearranging the Bredt-Batho relation, \[ A = \frac{T}{2q} = \frac{240}{2 \times 200} = 0.6\ \mathrm{m}^2. \] Enclosed area is bought cheaply - it costs only the perimeter of skin needed to enclose it - which is why torsion boxes are made as deep and wide as the aerodynamic shape allows.
