What is the primary characteristic of vertical loads?
Think about what holds buildings up.
True or False: Static equilibrium ensures forces do not cause movement.
Consider what equilibrium implies in physics.
Given a uniformly loaded beam, determine the maximum negative moment if the load is 500 N/m and the length of the beam is 8 m.
Think about how w and L interact in the formula.
