In plotting the curves for Shear force diagrams and bending moment diagrams, what is plotted on the common axis?

AMass of the section

BOrienta tion of the section's normal force

CPositior of the section

DElasticity of the section

Answer:

C. Positior of the section

Read Explanation:

Shear force and bending moment diagrams plot position of the section on the abscissa and shear force/bending moment on the ordinate. Shear force is the force trying to shear off the section, obtained by summing vertical forces. Bending moment is the moment trying to bend the section, obtained by summing all moments. Shear force diagram shows shear force and bending moment diagram shows bending moment.

The shear force obtained at the midpoint of the cantilever beam is 12 kN. What is the value of uniformly distributed load w (kN/m) acting over the entire length, if the span length of the beam is 4 m?
What is the point in a hanging beam where the bending moment is zero is known as?
When the shear force at a section of a beam under bending is zero, the bending moment at that section is either a maximum or a minimum. This is because the shear force is a measure of the rate of change of the bending moment. When the shear force is zero, the bending moment is either at its peak or at its trough.

Determine the value of shear force at point A in the figure shown below.
