Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cantilever beam of length 5 m is subjected to a point load of 300 N at its free end. Calculate the deflection using the known formula.

💡 Hint: Check your units to ensure they are consistent.

Question 2

A piecewise beam has varying loads. Apply the Moment Area Theorem to find the deflection between two points.

💡 Hint: Draw the M/EI diagram first to visualize the areas.
