Bars of square and circular cross-section with $0.5\: m$ length are made of a material with shear strength of $20\: MPa$. The square bar cross-section dimension is $4\:cm \times$ $4\:cm$ and the cylindrical bar cross-section diameter is $4 \:cm$. The specimens are loaded as shown in the figure.
Which specimen(s) will fail due to the applied load as per maximum shear stress theory?
- Tensile and compressive load specimens
- Torsional load specimen
- Bending load specimen
- None of the specimens
