Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At a point in a simply supported or overhanging beam where the shear force changes sign and equals zero, the bending moment is at a maximum. This is because the rate of change of the bending moment is equal to the shear force. When the shear force is zero, the bending moment curve reaches a peak or valley, indicating a maximum or minimum value.
