Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A simply supported beam with a span of 5m is subjected to a central load of 30 kN. Calculate the total energy stored in the beam if the bending moment at the center is known to be 75 Nm, with E = 210 GPa and I = 0.0001 m^4.

💡 Hint: Apply the bending energy formula carefully.

Question 2

If a beam is fixed at one end with a torsional force applied, find the energy stored due to torsion and shear combined, given T = 100 Nm, L = 4 m, E = 200 GPa, and G = 80 GPa.

💡 Hint: Remember the formulas for each energy type mentioned!
