Question

Q27. Determine the moment at fixed end.
10 KN
4M
(A) 40 kNm
(B) 50 kNm
(C) 60 kNm
(D) 80 kNm​

Answer 1

Answer:

80 kNm is the right answer

Answer 2

The moment at the fixed end will be 40 kNm (Option A)

We know that moment is equal to the product of the force applied by the distance. The SI unit of the moment is kNm.

The moment is either in the upward or downward direction depending on the direction of force applied. The moment will be directly proportional to the distance at which force is applied and also to the amount of force applied.

Given that,

Force applied = 10 kN

Distance = 4 m

Moment = Force applied x Distance

Moment = 10 kN x 4m

Moment = 40 kNm

The moment at the fixed end will be 40kNm.
