Shear and Moment Diagrams

• True

• False

When there is a sudden increase or decrease in shear force diagram between any two points, it indicates that there is a

• point load at the two points

• no loading between the two points

• uniformly distributed load between the two points

• uniformly varying load between the two points

The bending moment at the ends of a simply supported beam will be zero.

• Yes

• No

The bending moment on a section is maximum where shear force is

• minimum

• maximum

• changing sign

• zero

If the shear force diagram linearly varies between two points then bending moment diagram will vary

• constant

• linearly

• parabolically

• cubically

Shear force varies between two concentrated loads in a beam

• linearly

• parabolically

• cubically

• constant

In a simply supported beam, bending moment at the end

• Is always zero if it does not carry couple at the end

• Is zero, if the beam has uniformly distributed load only

• Is zero if the beam has concentrated loads only

• May or may not be zero

For any part of the beam, between two concentrated load Shear force diagram is a

• Horizontal straight line

• Vertical straight line

• Line inclined to x-axis

• Parabola

For any part of a beam between two concentrated load, Bending moment diagram is a

• Horizontal straight line

• Vertical straight line

• Line inclined to x-axis

• Parabola

At a point in a simply supported or overhanging beam where Shear force changes sign and = 0, Bending moment is

• Maximum

• Zero

• Either increasing or decreasing

• Infinity
