Question

A cantilever of span L is loaded with moment M at free end, the maximum bending moment is *


​

Answer 1

The maximum bending moment is P × L

Step-by-step explanation:

The cantilever beam is a beam with one fixed end and one free end.

When load is P acts at the free end, the maximum bending or deflection takes place at free end. The maximum bending moment takes place at fixed end.

Maximum bending moment = Force × Distance

Now, the maximum bending moment is:

M = P × L
