2.1 Questions From Strength of Material's

The document outlines a series of problems related to shear and moment equations for beams, including drawing shear and moment diagrams, calculating flexural stress, and determining beam dimensions under various loading conditions. It covers different beam types such as cantilever, simply supported, and timber beams, and includes specific calculations for maximum stress and shear stress. Each problem requires a different approach, either analytical or graphical, to solve for the required parameters.
