Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram of Cantilever Beam with Point load and UDL |Example Problem

Dr. Michael Thomas Rex, National Engineering College, Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu, INDIA This video lecture explain 1. What is shear force? 2. What is bending moment? 3. How to draw shear force and bending moment diagrams for cantilever beam subjected to point loads and UDL? 4. How to determine sign convention of shear force and bending moment? Problem description: A cantilever of 14 m span carries loads of 6 kN, 4 kN, 6kN and 4 kN at 2 m, 4 m, 7 m, and 14 m respectively from the fixed end. It also has a uniformly distributed load of 2 kN/m run for the length between 4 m and 10 m from the fixed end. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams.
