Physics · Strength of Materials
A simply supported beam of span L is subjected to two equal and opposite point loads of magnitude P, acting at a distance of L/3 from each support. Find the magnitude of bending moment (BM) and shear force (SF) at the mid-span.
- 1BM = 0; SF = P 3
- 2BM = 0; SF = 2P 3✓
- 3BM = PL 12 ; SF = 2P 3
- 4BM = PL 12 ; SF = P 2
Correct answer
BM = 0; SF = 2P 3
