Question 1
A simply supported beam of length 6 m carries a point load of 10 kN at its center. Calculate the bending moment and shear force at the support.
💡 Hint: Use the equilibrium principles for balance.
Question 2
For a W-section beam, calculate the shear force at a section where the distance from the end is 2 m under a uniformly distributed load of 5 kN/m over 6 m.
💡 Hint: Consider the area related to the distributed load.
