Top Shear Force MCQ Objective Questions
Shear Force Question 1:
When the shear force at a section of a beam under bending is zero, the bending moment at that section is either a maximum or a minimum. This is because the shear force is a measure of the rate of change of the bending moment. When the shear force is zero, the bending moment is either at its peak or at its trough.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Relationship between shear force and bending moment:
Let us consider the following beam element 'dx'
Here,
M - Bending moment
dM - Change in bending moment
V - Shear force
dV - Change in shear force
q - UDL on the span 'dx'
Taking moment equilibrium of the beam element shown -
ΣM =0
⇒ - M - qdx\(\left(\dfrac{dx}{2}\right)\) - (V + dV)dx + (M + dM) = 0
⇒ \(\dfrac{dM}{dx}\) = V ---(1)
This equation shows that the rate of change of the bending moment at any point on the axis of a beam is equal to the shear force at that same point.
Explanation:
If, V = 0
Equation (1) implies that M → Constant
- Equation (1) is valid only in regions where distributed (or no loads) loads acting on the beam.
- At a point where concentrated load acts, a sudden change in the SFD occurs i.e. discontinuity and the derivative \(\dfrac{dM}{dx}\) is undefined at that point.
- For UDL over the simply supported beam,
- The location where SFD changes from +ive to -ive, there are high chances of getting maximum bending moment.
- The location where SFD changes from -ive to +ive, there are high chances of getting minimum bending moment.
- The bending moment is maximum or minimum where shear force is zero.
Which means, Zero shear force will not produce maximum bending moments always.It is only possible in the case of a simply supported beam subjected to UDL.
Shear Force Question 2:
If the shear force at a section of a beam under bending is equal to zero then the bending moment at the section is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Let w be load intensity, V be the shear force and M be the bending moment.
w = dv/dx
V = dM/dx
For finding the maximum value of Bending Moment:
dM/dx = 0 ⇒ V = 0
Bending moment is maximum where shear force is zero or its changes sign (positive to negative or vice-versa).
Mistake Points
While solving the problems of Bending Moment, only consider the magnitude of the Shear force and Bending Moment. In the above, when Shear force is zero the Magnitude of Bending moment is Maximum only if it bends in the upper or lower direction.
Shear Force Question 3:
A cantilever of length l carries a uniformly distributed load w N per unit length for the whole length. The shear force at the free end will be -
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
\(S{F_{xx}} = - Wx\)
\(S{F_{x = 0}} = 0;S{F_{x = L}} = wL\)
Shear force at free end is zero and at fixed end it will be wL.
Shear Force Question 4:
A concentrated load P acts on a simply supported beam of span L at a distance L/4 from the left end. The bending moment at the point of application of load is given by:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 4 Detailed Solution
R1 + R2 = P
R2 × L = P × L/4
R2 = P/4
R1 = 3P/4
Bending moment at the point of applied load:
\({M_P} = {R_1} \times \frac{L}{4} = \frac{{3P}}{4} \times \frac{L}{4} = \frac{{3PL}}{{16}}\)
Shear Force Question 5:
A cantilever beam AB of length "L" is subjected to an anticlockwise couple of "M" at a section with distance 'a' from support. Then the maximum shear force is equal to:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Using equilibrium equations
∑FH = 0
HA = 0
∑FV = 0
VA = 0
∑MA = 0
-M + MA = 0
MA = M
So, the maximum shear force is equal to VA which is zero.
Shear Force Question 6:
If the shear force acting at every section of a beam is of the same magnitude and of the same direction then represents a

Cantilever is subjected to concentrated loads at the free ends.
Shear Force Question 6 Detailed Solution

This diagram is drawn only for a cantilever beam subjected to the concentrated load at the free end.
Shear Force Question 7:
The bending moment diagram is shown in the figure. Find out shear force in section 1-1 and 2-2.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The slope of the bending moment diagram at a point gives shear force at that point.
Calculation:
\({\left( {Shear\;Force} \right)_{1 - 1}} = {\left( {\frac{{dM}}{{dx}}} \right)_{1 - 1}}\)
(Shear Force)1-1 = \({\left( {\frac{{dM}}{{dx}}} \right)_{1 - 1}} = 0\;N\)
\({\left( {Shear\;Force} \right)_{2 - 2}} = {\left( {\frac{{dM}}{{dx}}} \right)_{2 - 2}}\)
(Shear Force)2-2 = \({\left( {\frac{{dM}}{{dx}}} \right)_{2 - 2}} = \frac{{200 - 100}}{2}\)
(Shear Force)2-2 = \( {\left( {\frac{{dM}}{{dx}}} \right)_{2 - 2}} = 50\;N\)
Shear Force Question 8:
Calculate the reaction at support 'B' of the given beam in the figure below.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 8 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
ΣFy = 0,
RA + RB = 10 × 6 = 60 kN
Taking moment about point A,
ΣM = 0
RB × 10 - 10 × 6 × 3 = 0
RB = 18 kN
Shear Force Question 9:
A simply supported beam of span 8 m is carrying a uniformly distributed load of 4 kN/m over a length of 4 m from its right end. The support reactions are ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Shear Force Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Condition for equilibrium on the beam:
ΣFy = 0 ( Beam must be in equilibrium in Y-direction )
ΣMA = 0 ( Point is hinged so net moment about A must be zero )
Calculation:
Given;
L = 8 m, w = 4kN/m, Uniformly distributed load only over 4 m of length from the right end of a beam
RA + RB = 16 kN
16 × 6 - RB × 8 = 0 ( Consider clockwise as positive and anticlockwise as negative moment )
RB = 12 kN
RA = 4kN
Additional Information
- Either the load is UDL ( Uniformly distributed load ) or VDL ( Varying distributed load the total load is found by calculating its geometric area.
- For calculation of support reaction we assume UDL or VDL as point load acting on its geometric centre.
