Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
