Questions (page 2)

Q1. Which one of the following statements is NOT correct regarding the relationships between bending moment, shear force and applied load?

  • (a) The rate of change of shear force along a beam is equal to the distributed load
  • (b) The rate of change of bending moment along a beam is equal to the shear force
  • (c) The rate of change of bending moment along a beam is equal to the distributed load
  • (d) The shear force and bending moment at free end is always zero

Q2. What is the support reaction V_G from the following figure?

  • (a) 15 kN (upward)
  • (b) 20 kN (upward)
  • (c) 15 kN (downward)
  • (d) 20 kN (downward)

Q3. Consider the following assumptions for pure bending theory:

  • (a) 1. The material is heterogeneous and isotropic.
  • (b) 2. The stress is purely longitudinal and local effects near concentrated loads will be neglected.

  • (d) 1, 2 and 3

Q4. For a fixed-connected collar type of support connection in coplanar structures, the number of unknown(s) is/are

  • (a) three and the reactions are two forces and a moment component
  • (b) one and the reaction is a moment component
  • (c) two and the reactions are two forces (one horizontal and one vertical)
  • (d) two and the reactions are a force and a moment

Q5. For a rectangular beam of 4 m long with 100 mm wide and 200 mm deep, it carries a shear force of 100 kN. What is the maximum shear stress ( au_{\textmax}) due to the bending of rectangular section?

  • (b) 5 \text N/mm^2
  • (c) 7.5 \text N/mm^2
  • (d) 10 \text N/mm^2
