Show hintHide hint
Think of something placing weight on a singular spot.
Question 2.
What is a uniformly distributed load?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how a blanket would evenly spread out.
3Question 3.
What type of load is applied at a specific point on a beam?
- Distributed Load
- Concentrated Load
- Both
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definition!
4Question 4.
True or False: A uniformly distributed load varies in magnitude.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the uniformity aspect in the term.
Question 5.
Consider a beam with a concentrated load of 1000 N at its center and a uniformly distributed load of 200 N/m over its entire length of 4m. Calculate the maximum shear force in the beam.
Show hintHide hint
Find the total load and then see the effect on shear.
Question 6.
If a linearly varying load changes from 0 to 600 N along the length of the beam, calculate the resultant load and its position relative to the left end.
Show hintHide hint
Calculate the area of the triangle to find the resultant load!
