~. 1 (5 Points) Compare the torsional stiffn~ss oftwJ.hin rec1<m',uhrhollow cro1..s-se~~as shown
in Figure la and Figure lb. The cross-section shown in Figure lb has a longitudinal slit of size a as
shO'wn in the figure. The width and height (measured at the centerline) of both cross-sections are
denoted by wand h respectively. Assume linear-elastic behavior af the material and ignare stress-
concentration effects at the corners.
