Quiz 3: Beam Bending

Q.1

A point load F of 12,000 N acts at the tip of a cantilever beam of length 3 m. The beam section is as
shown in the figure below. The direction of load is such that it is at an angle q of 60 deg with the x-z
plane (see figure). Assume that the load acts through the point C such that the beam undergoes
pure bending and there is no torsion.  The stress at the point A indicated in the figure for the cross-
section at the fixed end is _____________ MPa.

A cantilever beam of length 1m and with
an L-section as shown in the figure below is acted upon by a point load of 3000 N at the tip. The load
acts at an angle of 30 deg to the y-axis such that it is a moment with positive components both X and
Y directions. Assume that load passes through the point C such that there is no torsion of the beam
(only bending). The stress at Point A (shown in the figure) is ___________ MPa.

Q.3

A point load of 35,000 N acts at the mid-span of a simply-supported beam of length 3m. The beam
section is as shown in the figure below. The direction of load is such that it is at an angle q of 100
deg with the x-z plane (see figure). Assume that the load acts through the point C such that the beam
undergoes pure bending and there is no torsion.  The stress at the point B indicated in the figure is
_____________ MPa.
