Consider the following statements about Bredt-Batho torsion theory:

1. The shear flow is constant round the cell.

2. It equals the torque divided by twice the enclosed area.

3. The enclosed area means the cross-sectional area of the material.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

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

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 are the Bredt-Batho result: \( q = T/2A \), constant round the cell. Statement 3 misdefines the area, which is that enclosed by the median line of the wall - for a thin box, close to the whole area of the box - and not the cross-sectional area of the material, which is very much smaller.
