Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A simply supported beam of 8 m length carries a uniform load of 4 kN/m. Calculate the shear force and bending moment at mid-span.

💡 Hint: Use the shear and moment equations for uniform loads.

Question 2

A cantilever beam of length 5 m has a point load of 10 kN at the free end. Calculate maximum bending moment and shear at the fixed end.

💡 Hint: Apply static equilibrium principles to solve.
