If this shear force acts at the base of the pole, how can your centreline be your lever arm (centre of attachment i.e. sign)
Aren't they in the same location?
How can you then do shear force x...
Hi,
I meed some help on a very simple question.

Where does this shear stress act? Is it at the centre of the pole?
Lets say im calculating the shear stress caused by wind...
