Student Name/Section:

Shear force and bending moment

Objective:

 To learn about the practical concept of shearing force and bending moment on a beam
subjected to transverse load at a given section.
 To find the values of counter shear force and counter bending moment.
 To compare the theoretical and experimental results

Apparatus

 Shear force and bending moment apparatus

 load hanger
 vernier caliper
 loads

Theory:
The shearing force is defined as the algebraic sum of the transverse components of the
forces to one side of section 2.
The bending moment is defined as the algebraic sum of the moments of the forces to one
side of the section.
