Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For a cantilever beam of length L with a point load P at the free end, derive the expressions for shear and moment across the beam.

💡 Hint: Consider the beam's supports and how it resists moment and shear.

Question 2

Analyze a beam fixed at both ends with varying distributed loads and derive the shear and moment equations.

💡 Hint: Focus on breaking the beam down into segments to analyze the effects.
