What is a point load?
Think about where the force is applied.
Define uniformly distributed load.
Consider how the load is applied over distance.
What type of load is a point load?
Focus on where the load acts.
True or False: The moment of inertia is constant for all beam shapes.
Think about different shapes like rectangles and circles.
Design a simply supported beam to support a total uniform load of 2 kN across its 4-meter span. Calculate the maximum bending moment and shear force.
Use the formulas for maximum bending moment and shear in uniformly loaded beams.
A cantilever beam of length 3 meters is fixed at one end. If a point load of 600 N is applied at the free end, calculate the maximum bending moment at the fixed end.
Remember, the bending moment increases as we move from the free end to the fixed support.
