Problem 1: Concentrated Load, simply supported beam...A 6.6 m long beam is simply supported at the ends and carries a concentrated load of 5 kN at its center. Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams.
Problem 2: Uniformly distributed load, simply supported beam...An 8 m long beam is simply supported at the ends and carries a distributed load of 2 kN/m. Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams.
Problem 3: Uniformly distributed load, cantilever beam...A 5 m long beam is cantilevered and carries a distributed load of 12 kN/m. Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams.
Problem 4: Linkage hinged at one end with an external moment...A linkage is supported by a hinge at A and a cable applied to a spur at C. External loads of 3 and 5 kN are applied at B and D. Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams for the linkage ABCD.
