Question: A cantilever beam of length 4 m carries a uniform load of 5 kN/m. What is the shear force at the fixed support?
Options:
Correct Answer: 10 kN
Solution:
The total load on the cantilever is w*L = 5 kN/m * 4 m = 20 kN. The shear force at the fixed support is equal to the total load, which is 20 kN.
