  1. Question 1

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

  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 highest at the outside surfaces, and zero along the neutral.
    • If the beam is symmetrical, the bending stresses are zero at the outside surfaces, and highest along the neutral.
    • 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 throughout any cross-section of the beam.

  4. Question 4

    For an evenly loaded built-in beam, which one of the following statements is most accurate?
    • The bending stress is zero at mid length.
    • The bending stress is zero at the ends.
    • The bending stress is high at mid length and at the ends.
    • Bending stress is zero along the whole length.

  5. Question 5

    For an evenly loaded ship, which one of the following statements is most accurate?
    • The bending stresses acting on the hull will normally be maximum at the forward end.
    • The bending stresses acting on the hull will normally be maximum at the engine room.
    • The bending stresses acting on the hull will normally be maximum halfway along its length.
    • The bending stresses acting on the hull will normally be maximum at the accommodation.
