PRACTICE EXAM QUESTION

Question 7

Attempt the question in exam conditions give yourself 40 minutes, no notes.

USE GRAPH PAPER .

I. Calculate and draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams for the propped cantilever beam
Calculate and draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams for the beam ABCDE shown in
figure 5. Draw the diagrams carefully and accurately on the graph paper provided, marking all the
important values.
II. Calculate the bending stress at B for a timber rectangular cross-section that is 375mm wide and
750mm deep. Bending is about the X axis. Indicate which face is in tension.

Use a horizontal scale of 1cm=1m.

Use a vertical scale of 1cm=2kN for the shear force diagram.
Use a vertical scale of 1cm=2kNm for the bending moment diagram.
