When a 'beam' experiences a bending moment it will change its shape and internal stresses (forces) will be developed. The photograph illustrates the shape change of elements of a beam in bending. Note ...

The pivot is 0.1 m from the end of the beam. Calculate the heaviest load that could be lifted using a force of 500 N. First, calculate the moment due to the 500 N force. To do this, distance will ...
