Question 1.
Define a bending moment.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationship between force and bending.
Question 2.
What does a bending moment diagram represent?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what happens to the beam as loads are applied.
3Question 3.
What is a bending moment?
- A force that causes uplift
- An internal moment that causes bending
- A type of load
Show hintHide hint
Consider the effect of loads on beams.
4Question 4.
True or False: A bending moment diagram can show areas of maximum stress on a beam.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about where the strongest forces act.
Question 5.
Given a cantilever beam of length 4m with a point load of 200N applied at the free end, calculate the bending moment at the fixed support.
Show hintHide hint
Consider where the maximum moment occurs on a cantilever.
Question 6.
Design a bending moment diagram for a beam subject to a uniformly distributed load. Describe the shape and critical points.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how distributed loads affect the bending moment differently than point loads.
