Question 1.
What is a beam?
Show hintHide hint
Think about horizontal support in buildings.
Question 2.
What does uniform load mean?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how weight is spread on a shelf.
3Question 3.
What is the main purpose of internal shear forces in a beam?
- To cause failure
- To maintain equilibrium
- To increase load
Show hintHide hint
Think about what keeps a building standing.
4Question 4.
A cantilever column is supported at both ends. True or False?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Visualize how it is supported.
Question 5.
A structure has three beams each supported by cantilevers and they are loaded differently. Calculate the resultant load on the central beam if each side carries a different load of 1.2 k/ft and 2 k/ft on the left and right respectively.
Show hintHide hint
Add up the loads acting on the central beam.
Question 6.
If the maximum moment at a simply supported beam is 1000 k.ft, what would the corresponding shear at the beam ends near support? Consider symmetric loading.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationship between load, moment, and shear.
