Define shear force.
Think about what resists sliding in structures.
What is a bending moment?
Consider how forces create rotational effects.
What does a shear force diagram represent?
Remember how forces change due to loads.
True or False: Contraflexure points are locations where the bending moment is maximum.
Think about where the beam curves change.
A beam of length 8 m is subjected to a point load of 10 kN at its center. Calculate the shear force and bending moment at 2 m from the left end.
Use equilibrium equations to assess shear and moment.
For a beam with a uniformly varying load ranging from 0 to 10 kN/m over 5 m, calculate the maximum bending moment and the shear force at mid span.
Consider an equivalent point load for the load distribution.
