  4. At the free end

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load, where is the maximum shear force located?
  • Step 1: Understand what a simply supported beam is. It is a beam that is supported at both ends and can freely rotate.
  • Step 2: Know what a uniformly distributed load is. This means the load is spread evenly across the length of the beam.
  • Step 3: Recognize that shear force is the internal force that acts along the beam due to the applied load.
  • Step 4: Identify the locations of the supports. In a simply supported beam, there are two supports, one at each end.
  • Step 5: Realize that the maximum shear force occurs at the supports because this is where the beam experiences the greatest reaction to the load.
