Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam is subjected to a Point Load of 500 N at its center. Calculate the maximum shear force in the beam. Assume no other loads are acting.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the equilibrium of moments.

Question 2

A cantilever beam is loaded with a Uniformly Distributed Load of 200 N/m over a span of 4 m. What is the total load on the beam, and how will this affect the bending moment?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize how loads accumulate over the length.
