Question

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?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 6

Given: $SF_ {x - x} =12 kN$, x = 2m (mid-point) Calculation: $F_{X - X} =wx \Rightarrow 12=w\times 2 \Rightarrow w=6 kN/m.$
