List of top Applied Mechanics and Structures Questions on Bending moment and shear force in statically determinate beams

A solid beam with a rectangular cross-section of breadth 0.5 m and depth 0.12 m, experiences a vertical shear force of 50 kN at a section.
The maximum shear stress in that section is ______ MPa (answer in two decimal places).

Choose the CORRECT bending moment diagram for the simply supported beam shown in the figure with a concentric moment \(M\) at mid span.

Consider hogging as positive and sagging as negative.
