Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cantilever beam is fixed at one end and has a load of 300 N applied at the free end. Calculate the shear force and bending moment at the fixed support.
💡 Hint: Consider the distance from the load to the support.
A simply supported beam has a span of 4 meters with a center load of 500 N. Draw the shear and moment diagrams immediately after applying the load.
💡 Hint: Think about how the load distributes across the entire length of the beam.
