Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a beam with a length of 5m and a uniform load of 20 kN, calculate the shear forces at 1m, 2m, 3m, and 4m from the left support.
💡 Hint: Determine how much weight each section bears based on its support and position.
Question 2
Evaluate the consequences of incorrectly assuming a cantilever beam is simply supported when analyzing shear and moment.
💡 Hint: Think of scenarios where incorrect assumptions could fail sudden loads.
