Question 1 (Problem 6-19, 9th Ed, Textbook)

Draw the shear force and moment diagrams for the beam.

Question 2 (Problem 6-3, 10th Ed, Textbook)

Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam, and determine the shear and moment
throughout the beam as a function of x for 0 6ft and 6ft 10ft.

Question 3 (Problem 6-54, 9th Ed, Textbook)

If the built-up beam is subjected to an internal moment of M = 75 kNm, determine the
maximum tensile stress and the maximum compressive stress acting in the beam.

Question 4 (Problem 6-102, 9th Ed, Textbook)

If the concentrated force P = 2 kN is applied at the free end of the overhanging beam, determine
the absolute maximum tensile and compressive stresses developed in the beam.

Question 5
The cantilever beam below has two vertical forces acting on it, as shown.

Determine:
(i)
(ii)

The maximum normal stress due to bending at section a-a

The normal stress due to bending at point B on the web at section a-a. Is this stress
tensile or compressive?
