A stringer of \( 250 \) mm\( ^2 \) has \( 71 \) mm of effective skin at \( 2 \) mm thickness on each side. Its total effective area is

  • A.250 mm^2
  • B.784 mm^2
  • C.534 mm^2
  • D.392 mm^2

Answer: C

Correct answer: 534 mm²

The stringer takes its own area plus the effective skin on both sides:

\[ A = 250 + 2 \times (71 \times 2) = 250 + 284 = 534 \ \mathrm{mm}^2 \]

The skin contributes more than the stringer itself here, which is typical and is why the effective width calculation matters so much. Counting one side only gives 392, and omitting the skin altogether gives 250.
