Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a beam fixed at one end and a point load at the free end, derive the equations for shear and moment across the length of the beam.

💡 Hint: Consider the effects of the fixed support and the load on the beam.

Challenge 2 Hard

For a beam with non-uniform loading, sketch the shear and moment diagrams. Include calculations for maximum shear and moment.

💡 Hint: Break the load into sections for easier calculation.
