  1. Question 1

    For a loaded, simply supported beam which ONE of the following statements about compressive and tensile forces is most accurate?
    • Both the load side and the opposite side are under compression.
    • The load side is under compression and the opposite side is under tension.
    • Both the load side and the opposite side are under tension.
    • The load side is under tension and the opposite side is under compression.

  2. Question 2

    For a loaded, simply supported beam with uneven loading, which ONE of the following statements about the loading of the supports is most accurate?
    • If the loading is uneven, the support nearest to the load has the greatest force.
    • Even if the loading is uneven, each support carries equal force.
    • Even if the loading is uneven, the reactions at each support will be zero.
    • If the loading is uneven, the support furthest from the load has the greatest force.

  3. Question 3

    For a loaded, simply supported symmetrical beam which ONE of the following statements about the resulting bending stresses is most accurate?
    • If the beam is symmetrical, the bending stresses are the same throughout any cross-section of the beam.
    • If the beam is symmetrical, the bending stresses are zero at the outside surfaces and highest along the neutral axis.
    • If the beam is symmetrical, the bending stresses are highest at the outside surfaces and zero along the neutral axis.
    • If the beam is symmetrical, the bending stresses are zero throughout any cross-section of the beam.

  4. Question 4

    For an evenly loaded, simply supported beam which ONE of the following statements about the bending stress is most accurate?
    • The bending stress is greatest half way along the length of the beam.
    • The bending stress is greatest at each end.
    • The bending stress is zero half way along the length of the beam.
    • The ends of the beam cannot move.

    • Port marine Agencies.
    • Port marine Authority.
