Answer Any Two Questions

9. A cantilever beam of 2 m length carries the point loads as shown in

fig. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram for the (14)
cantilever beam. (13) (OR)
b) A timber beam of rectangular section is to support a load of 20 kN/m
uniformly distributed over a span of 3.6 m when beam is simply
supported. If the depth of section is to be twice the breadth, and the
stress in the timber is not to exceed 3.5 N/mm 2. Find the dimensions
of the cross section. (14)
