Variables Used

Shear Stress in Beam - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear stress in beam is the internal stress that arises from the application of shear force and acts parallel to the cross-section of the beam.
Shear Force on Beam - (Measured in Newton) - Shear Force on Beam refers to the internal force that acts parallel to the cross-section of the beam is the result of external loads, reactions at supports, and the beam’s own weight.
Moment of Inertia of Area of Section - (Measured in Meter⁴) - Moment of inertia of area of section is a geometric property that measures how a cross-section’s area is distributed relative to an axis for predicting a beam’s resistance to bending and deflection.
Depth of Rectangular Section - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of rectangular section is the vertical dimension of the cross-section of the beam helps in calculating various stresses and ensuring the structural integrity of the beam.
Distance from Neutral Axis - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from neutral axis in a beam is the perpendicular distance from the neutral axis to a specific point within the beam’s cross-section. It is an imaginary line where the bending stress is zero.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Force on Beam: 4.8 Kilonewton --> 4800 Newton (Check conversion here)
Moment of Inertia of Area of Section: 0.00168 Meter⁴ --> 0.00168 Meter⁴ No Conversion Required

In which section maximum shear stress position is not at the neutral axis of section?

Nevertheless, the maximum shear stress does not always occur at the neutral axis. For instance, in the case of a cross section having nonparallel sides, such as a triangular section, the maximum value of Q/b (and thus τxy) occurs at mid height, h/2, while the neutral axis is located at a distance h/3 from the base.
