Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A beam is subjected to a uniform load and a point load. Calculate the maximum bending moment and shear force at each section. Illustrate the shear and bending moment diagrams.
💡 Hint: Use areas to find corresponding moments in your diagrams.
For a cantilever beam with varying load distribution, derive expressions for shear and bending moments along its length.
💡 Hint: Break the problem into segments based on changes in load distribution.
