Question 1.
What is the first step in analyzing a beam?
Show hintHide hint
Think about forces acting on the beam.
Question 2.
Define shear force.
Show hintHide hint
Consider its effect on the beams layers.
3Question 3.
What is the first step in analyzing internal forces on a beam?
- Identify loads
- Calculate support reactions
- Cut the beam
Show hintHide hint
Think about equilibrium.
4Question 4.
True or False: The bending moment can be found by summing moments about a section from external forces.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how moments work.
Question 5.
A simply supported beam carries a uniform load of 10 kN/m over a length of 8 meters. Calculate the support reactions and verify by decomposing the beam.
Show hintHide hint
Total load can be used to find reaction at supports.
Question 6.
For a cantilever beam of length 5m with a point load of 15kN at the free end, determine the internal shear and bending moment at 2m from the fixed end.
