Question 1

Consider a beam and three diagrams shown below.

Which of the following statements is true?

Question 2

The beam shown below consists of 4 segments labeled AB, BC, CD, and DE.

How many of the four beam segments carry a negative shear force?

What is the shear force in segment AB?

What is the shear force in segment BC?

What is the shear force in segment CD?

What is the shear force in segment DE?

Write the shear equation for the beam where \(0 < x < 8\).

Question 3

Consider the beam shown below.

To write the shear equation for the left segment of the beam where \(0 < x < 6\), we can cut the beam as follows:

In the above diagram, \(V\) represents the shear force, and \(h\) is the height of the load triangle at the cut point.

Write \(h\) in terms of \(x\).

Write the shear equation for the left beam segment where \(0 < x < 6\).

Question 4

Consider the following beam and its shear diagram.

The shear force becomes zero in the left segment of the beam, as marked on the diagram above. Where is the location of zero shear? Specify the distance from the left end of the beam to that location.

With regard to bending moment in the beam, what does the location of zero shear signify?
