What is a Point Load?
Think about how weight is sometimes placed on structures.
Define Uniformly Distributed Load.
Consider scenarios like a floor where people stand.
What is a Point Load?
Think of how loads impact a beam in specific spots.
True or False: A UDL creates a consistent shear force across the beam.
Consider how loads are applied along a beam's length.
A beam is subjected to a Point Load of 500 N at its center. Calculate the maximum shear force in the beam. Assume no other loads are acting.
Use the equilibrium of moments.
A cantilever beam is loaded with a Uniformly Distributed Load of 200 N/m over a span of 4 m. What is the total load on the beam, and how will this affect the bending moment?
Visualize how loads accumulate over the length.
