Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does a positive moment cause in a beam's fibers?

  • Tension in the upper fibers
  • Compression in the lower fibers
  • Tension in the lower fibers
  • No effect

💡 Hint: Remember the basic effect of bending.

Question 2

True or False: The slope of a shear diagram at a point is equal to the load intensity at that point.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how forces influence shear.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A uniform load of 500 N/m is applied on a simply supported beam of 6m span. Calculate the shear and moment at 2m from the left support.

💡 Hint: Use equilibrium to find reactions before applying them to the shear and moment calculations.

Question 2

For a cantilever beam of length 5m with a point load of 2000N at the free end, draw the shear and moment diagrams.

💡 Hint: Consider how the point load impacts the beam.
