TUTORIAL SHEET – 6
1. For the simple beam in Fig. 1, evaluate the shear force and bending moment at a section just to the left of the
point of application of the 2,000 kg load. Ans. V=812.5 kg, M =416,250 kg-cm
2. Calculate the bending moments at cross-sections C and D of the beam shown in Fig 2. Ans. MC = 0, MD = -
225,000 kg-cm
3. A simply supported beam carries linearly varying transverse load as shown in Fig 3. At what distance x from
A will the shear force Vx vanish? What is the value of the shear force at the middle cross-section of the
beam? Ans. Vx = 0 at x = l/ (2√3), Vm = ± wol/6.
4. A thin steel rule having a cross-section 0.0625cm x 2.50cm is bent by couples applied at its ends so that a
length l = 25 cm of the circular arc subtends a central angle θ = 60°. Calculate the maximum stress induced
in the rule and the magnitude of the bending moment M. Ans. σ = 2,750 kg/cm2, M= 4.46 kg-cm.
5. A simply supported beam having a span l = 3.6 m is to carry a uniformly distributed load of intensity to w =
1,600kg/m. The cross-section is to be rectangular with depth h and width b = h/2. If the allowable bending
stress in tension or compression is σw = 84 kg/cm2, what is the required depth h for the cross-section? Ans. h
= 33.5 cm.
6. A compound beam made of two bars AC and CD hinged together at C is supported and loaded as shown in
Fig. 4. Each portion of the beam is a standard ISMB 125section for which the section modulus Z = 71.8cm3.

bending is σw = 1400 kg/cm2? Ans. w = 112 kg/m.

kg/cm2. Ans. Z = 130cm3
8. A wood beam 1.8m long is simply supported at its ends, has a cross-section 15cm wide by 60 cm deep and
carries a uniformly distributed load of intensity w = 8,000 kg/m over the full span. Calculate the bending
stress at a point 20 cm above the bottom of the beam and 60 cm from the left support. Ans. σ = 10.7 kg/cm2

90cm. Using these data, construct, to scale, complete shear force and bending moment diagrams for the
