Question

The bending moment at C for the beam shown in the figure

• A. -3.2 kN-m
• B. -4.4kN-m
• C. -6.2kN-m
• D. -7.2kN-m

Answer 1

The correct option is B -4.4kN-m

(b)
Alternatively
BM at C = Moment from either left end or right end at that section
Moment from left end at C
= 2$\times 1.6+1\times 1.2$
= 4.4kNm (hogging)
Thus BM at C = 4.4 kNm
