The shear flow distribution in a single cell, thin-walled beam under the action of
an arbitrary shear load
ys applied at the shear centre S is shown in the figure. The
cell has horizontal symmetry with booms marked by 1 to 4 that carry direct
stresses. The shear modulus G is the same for all the walls, and the area of the cell
is 135000 mm2. With respect to the point O marked in the figure, the distance to
the shear centre S is ______ mm. (round off to the nearest integer)
