Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cantilever beam is subjected to a triangular distributed load. Develop the shear and moment diagrams, detailing every step.
💡 Hint: Remember to find the centroid of the triangle for load calculations.
Analyze a beam with multiple concentrated loads and calculate the shear and moment at the midpoint.
💡 Hint: Take into account the distance from each load.
