  2. 20 kN
  3. 5 kN
  4. 15 kN

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A cantilever beam of length 4 m carries a uniform load of 5 kN/m. What is the shear force at the fixed support?
  • Step 1: Identify the length of the cantilever beam, which is 4 meters.
  • Step 2: Identify the uniform load on the beam, which is 5 kN/m.
  • Step 3: Calculate the total load on the cantilever beam by multiplying the uniform load by the length of the beam: 5 kN/m * 4 m.
  • Step 4: Perform the multiplication: 5 kN/m * 4 m = 20 kN.
  • Step 5: Understand that the shear force at the fixed support is equal to the total load calculated in Step 4, which is 20 kN.
  • Shear Force in Beams – Understanding how to calculate shear force at supports in beams, particularly cantilever beams under uniform loads.
  • Load Calculation – Calculating the total load acting on a beam by multiplying the uniform load by the length of the beam.
