Question

We can make the graph of shear force acting on the beam. But not for the bending moment.

(a) The first part of the statement is false and other part is true

(b) The first part of the statement is false and other part is false too

(c) The first part of the statement is true and other part is false

(d) The first part of the statement is true and other part is true too

I got this question in an online interview.

I would like to ask this question from Shear and Moment Equations and Diagrams in section Internal Forces of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) The first part of the statement is false and other part is true

For explanation: Both of them can be plotted on the graph as the main things are the distance variation of the force, which can be made by simple calculation. The main motto of the calculations are to design the graph and know where the maximum force and the moment are. Thus the graph of both the quantities are possible.
