UNIT – II

1. How do you relate shearing force and bending moment?

[A/M-15]
Shear force at any cross section is defined as the algebraic sum of all the forces acting on
any one side of the section.
Bending moment at any cross section is defined as the algebraic sum of the moments of all
the forces, which are placed on any one side of that section.

2. Write a short note on location of point of maximum bending moment in a simply supported
beam. [A/M-15]
The bending moment is maximum, when shear force is zero. Equating the shear force at that

ww point to zero, one can find out the distance x from one end. Then find the maximum bending
moment at that point by taking moments of all the forces on right or left hand side.

w.E
3. List out any two assumptions in simple bending.
[N/D-16]

asy
1. The material of the beam is homogeneous and isotropic.
2. The beam material is stressed within the elastic limit and thus obey hooke‟s law.

En
3. The transverse section which was plane before bending remains plains after bending also.

gin
4. Each layer of the beam is free to expand or contract independently about the layer, above
or below.

4. Define the term’ moment of resistance’.

[N/D-15]
ee
5. The value of E is the same in both compression and tension.

rin
g.n
Due to pure bending, the layers above the N.A are subjected to compressive stresses,
whereas the layers below the N.A are subjected to tensile stresses. Due to these stresses,

et
the forces will be acting on the layers. These forces will have moment about the N.A. The
total moment of these forces about the N.A for a section is known as moment of resistance of
the section.

5. Define point of contra flexure? In which beam it occurs?

[N/D-16],[A/M-14]
It is the point where the B.M is zero after changing its sign from positive to negative or vice versa. It
occurs in overhanging beam.

6. Define shear force and bending moment? [N/D-14, 15],[M/J-13]

SF at any cross section is defined as algebraic sum of the vertical forces acting either side of beam.
BM at any cross section is defined as algebraic sum of the moments of all the forces which are placed
either side from that point.
