Consider the cantilever beam AB as shown in figure. The portion ACKJ of

the beam that is located to the left of the transverse section CC’ and
above the horizontal plane JK, where K is a point at a distance y. Consider
the plastic deformation in the portion of the beam with the given yY above
the neutral axis.
(a) Determine the magnitude of the horizontal shearing force H exerted on
the lower face of the portion of beam ACKJ
(b) Determine the shear stress at K.
