Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam is subjected to two point loads at different distances from the support. Calculate the shear, moment, and axial force at the midpoint.

💡 Hint: Analyze the forces acting up to the midpoint carefully.

Question 2

Given a cantilever beam with a distributed load, find the maximum bending moment and where it occurs.

💡 Hint: Remember, the maximum bending moment usually occurs where the load effects are greatest.
