Consider the following statements about shear flow:

1. It is the shear stress multiplied by the wall thickness.

2. It stays constant along a wall of varying thickness.

3. It has units of stress.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1, 2 and 3
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.1 and 3 only
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 are correct and follow from each other: \( q = \tau t \), and equilibrium keeps it constant along a wall whose thickness varies. Statement 3 is dimensionally wrong - shear flow is force per unit length, N/mm or kN/m, not force per unit area.
