A cantilever of length L carries a gradually (linearly)varying load from zero at its free end to w per unit length at the fixed end. The product of deflection and flexural rigidity at the free end is
The phenomenon of springback happens in a bending operation due to the following reason
The reaction at the two supports of a simply supported beam carrying a uniformly distributed load over its entire span is: (the intensity of loading on the beam is w/unit length and I is the length of the beam).
For a simply supported beam of length L with a triangular load that varies gradually (linearly) from zero at both ends to w per unit length at the centre, the maximum bending moment is
Section modulus Z is expressed as
What will be the section modulus (Z) of a rectangular beam of width (b) and depth (h)?
What is the point in a hanging beam where the bending moment is zero is known as?
A cantilever of span L carries a concentrated load W at its free end. Which of the following is true for this cantilever?
The moment diagram is when the cantilever beam whose free ends are applied with bending moment.
Which of the following is NOT a type of beam?
The most economical section of a beam to bear maximum bending moment is
The point in a beam at which the bending moment is maximum, the shear force at that point is
In a simply supported beam, where the shear force is zero, the bending moment will be
The rate of change of bending moment is equal to
In plotting the curves for Shear force diagrams and bending moment diagrams, what is plotted on the common axis?

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?
Positive Bending Moment is also called as
A simply supported beam of span L is subjected to a moment Mo at a distance of 4 from the left end. Magnitude of the maximum bending moment in the beam is
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.
Two beams have the same width but the first beam has double the depth of the second beam. The elastic strength of the first beam compared to the second beam will be
Beams of uniform strength vary in section such that
A beam is subjected to bending moment M. What is the relationship between shear force F and bending moment M?
Which of the following statement is INCORRECT?
The unbalanced vertical force, which tends to slide one portion of the beam upward or downward, is called as
The point on the beam where the curvature changes from sagging to hogging is a point of

For a simple case of a simply supported beam experiencing a point load at its center, which of the following equilibrium conditions hold?At any point on the beam:

  1. The algebraic sum of the moments due to all forces acting on the beam is zero
  2. The algebraic sum of vertical forces acting on the beam is zero
  3. The algebraic sum of horizontal forces is always negative (less than zero)
  4. The total acceleration experienced by the beam is zero
    What is the expansion of UDL in the beams?
