Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What happens to a beam when an external load is applied?

💡 Hint: Think about what happens with weight on a ruler.

Question 2

Easy

If you double the applied load on a beam, what happens to deflection?

💡 Hint: Double the force, double the effect.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary factor that increases beam deflection?

  • Decrease in span length
  • Increase in applied load
  • Increase in modulus of elasticity

💡 Hint: If you increase weight on a beam, what would happen to its bending?

Question 2

True or False: A higher moment of inertia results in greater deflection.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how a thick beam resists bending compared to a thin one.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam of length 8 m has a uniform load of 15 kN/m. Calculate the deflection at the free end considering E = 120 GPa and I = 120 x 10^6 mm^4.

💡 Hint: Start by ensuring all units are consistent before plugging numbers into the formula.

Question 2

For a cantilever beam of 4 m length subjected to a point load of 20 kN at the free end, find the deflection using E=200 GPa and I=200 x 10^6 mm^4.

💡 Hint: Identify the correct formula for a cantilever setup before substitution.
