w * L^2 / 2
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
For a cantilever beam with a uniform distributed load, what is the formula for the maximum shear force at the fixed support?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what a cantilever beam is. It is a beam that is fixed at one end and free at the other end.
Step 2: Recognize that a uniform distributed load (w) means the load is spread evenly across the length of the beam.
Step 3: Identify the length of the beam, which we will call L.
Step 4: Know that the maximum shear force (V) occurs at the fixed support of the cantilever beam.
Step 5: Use the formula for maximum shear force at the fixed support, which is V = w * L.
Step 6: Substitute the values of w (the load per unit length) and L (the length of the beam) into the formula to find the maximum shear force.
Cantilever Beam
– A beam fixed at one end and free at the other, subjected to loads.
Uniform Distributed Load
– A load that is evenly distributed along the length of the beam.
Shear Force
– The internal force that acts along the cross-section of a beam, causing it to shear.
Maximum Shear Force
– The highest value of shear force experienced at a specific point, in this case, the fixed support.
