Maximum Bending Moment of Simply Supported Beams with Point Load at Centre Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bending Moment = (Point Load*Length of Beam)/4
M = (P*L)/4
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bending Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.
Point Load - (Measured in Newton) - Point Load acting on a beam is a force applied at a single point at a set distance from the ends of the beam.
Length of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Beam is defined as the distance between the supports.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Point Load: 88 Kilonewton --> 88000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Length of Beam: 2600 Millimeter --> 2.6 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M = (P*L)/4 --> (88000*2.6)/4

Evaluating ... ...

M = 57200

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

57200 Newton Meter -->57.2 Kilonewton Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

57.2 Kilonewton Meter <-- Bending Moment

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
