In this article (and video above), we calculate the maximum shear force and moment resultant from a point load applied to a beam by drawing the shear force diagram and moment diagram associated with the condition. This question forms part of the Structural Mechanics section of the PE Exam and was created and solved by Engineer in training, Enrique Ivers
Question:
For the beam shown, what is the maximum shear force and the maximum moment?
