A secondary beam spans 3m and carries a distributed load of 8 kN/m. Calculate the maximum bending moment and shear force at the beam's supports.
💡 Hint: Use the formulas for a uniformly distributed load on a simply supported beam.
Calculate the deflection of a simply supported beam with a span of 5 m and a uniform load of 10 kN/m applied. Use E = 210 GPa and I = 50 x 10^6 mm^4.
💡 Hint: Use the standard formula for deflection under uniform load.
