Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cantilever beam of length 4 m carries a uniformly distributed load of 10 kN/m over its entire length. Calculate the shear force and bending moment at 2 m from the free end.

💡 Hint: Use uniform distribution formula for both shear and moment.

Question 2

A beam with a point load of 50 kN at mid-span and supports at either end. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam.

💡 Hint: Remember to halve the load distance for the central point of moment calculation.
