A wide-flange beam has the relative dimensions shown in Figures \( 3(\mathrm{~b}) \) and (c). The web and flanges have a uniform thickness of \( t \). If the beam is subjected to a transverse shear force \( V \) as shown in Figure \( 3(\mathrm{a}) \), what is the ratio \( \left(\tau_{\operatorname{Max}}\right)_{A} /\left(\tau_{\operatorname{Max}}\right)_{B} \) for the beam in orientations \( A \) and B. In each case, indicate where the maximum shear stress \( \tau_{M a x} \) occurs. (a) Profile view (b) Cross section orientation A. (c) Cross section orientation B
