Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Define axial force and provide an example.

💡 Hint: Think of forces that are directed along the same line as the beam.

Question 2

Easy

What do we measure when determining support reactions?

💡 Hint: These forces ensure equilibrium on the structure.

Question 1

What is the first step in analyzing a beam?

  • Determine the bending moment
  • Compute support reactions
  • Identify axial forces

💡 Hint: Think about the order of operations in beam analysis.

Question 2

True or False: The shear force at a point is affected by the load distribution along the beam.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall how loads influence internal forces.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cantilever beam of length 5m is carrying a uniform distributed load of 800 N/m. Calculate the maximum bending moment at the fixed support and plot shear and bending moment diagrams.

💡 Hint: Understand how the uniform load influences the beam throughout its length.

Question 2

Given a simply supported beam with a length of 6m, a centralized load of 12kN, and an additional 3kN at 1m from the left support, calculate the shear force just left of the 12kN load and then right of it.

💡 Hint: Use equilibrium equations to find reactions before analyzing shear.
