Question 54 Statics | Shear Forces & Bending Moments | difficulty level 1Consider a beam of length L, fully fixed at one end and subjected to a constant bending moment $M_0$ at the free end. What is the shape of the shear force diagram for this beam? A parabolic curve Linearly increasing from zero at the free end No shear force at any point in the beam A constant shear force along the length of the beam Report this questionExplanationThe moment $M_0$ that is applied to the free end of the beam is balanced by a reaction moment at the fixed end of the beam. This generates a bending moment of constant magnitude along the length of the beam. As no forces are acting along the length of the beam no shear forces are developed.The shear force and bending moment diagrams are shown below.Your Results Restart with New Questions Change Quiz Settings Review the Questions
