1. Consider a simply supported beam 4 m long and
subjected to a uniformly distributed vertical
load of 1600 N/m, as shown in Figure. Draw
shearing force and bending moment diagrams.

Fig: Problem 1
2. The simply supported beam shown in figure
carries a vertical load that increases uniformly
from zero at the left end to a maximum value of
8000 N/m at the right end. Draw the shearing
force and bending moment diagrams.

3. The cantilever beam AC in figure is loaded by
the uniform load of 600 N/m over the length BC
together with the couple of magnitude 4800
Nm at the tip C. Determine the shearing force
and bending moment diagrams.

4. The beam AC is simply supported at A and C
and subject to the uniformly distributed load of
300 N/m plus the couple of magnitude 2700
N.m as shown in figure. Write equations for
shearing force and bending moment and make
sketches of these equations.

5. Consider a cantilever beam loaded by a
concentrated force at the free end together with
a uniform load distributed over the right half of
the beam. Using singularity functions, write
equations for the shearing force and bending
moment at any point in the beam and plot the
shear and moment diagrams.

6. In figure a simply supported beam is loaded by
the couple of 3 kN.m. Using singularity
functions, write equations for the shearing force
and bending moment at any point in the beam
and plot the shear and moment diagrams.

7. The overhanging beam AE is subject to uniform
normal loadings in the regions AB and DE,
together with a couple acting at the midpoint C
as shown in figure. Using singularity functions,
write equations for the shearing force and
bending moment at any point in the beam and
plot the shear and moment diagram.

8. The simply supported beam AD is subject to a
uniform load over the segment BC together with
a concentrated force applied at C as shown in
figure. Using singularity functions, write
equations for the shearing force and bending
moment at any point in the beam and plot shear
and moment diagrams.

bending moment in the simply supported beam
shown in figure.
