Question 1.
What is a bending moment?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how beams bend under weight.
Question 2.
Define equilibrium in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
What happens when forces cancel each other out?
3Question 3.
What defines the state of equilibrium?
- Balanced forces
- Moving forces
- No forces acting
Show hintHide hint
Think about what would happen if forces are not balanced.
4Question 4.
True or False: A bending moment only exists in moving structures.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember that structures can be stationary yet experience forces.
