Obviously, if the beam is a cantilever, the shear force and the bending moment can both be zero at the free end. You won't find the maximum moment there in any event.chetzread said:Homework Statement
in the book , i was told that when the shear force is 0 , moment is maximum . However , in this question , i found that when the shear foce is 0 , the moment is also 0 . I'm wondering is the ststemnet true ?

Shear force is the force that acts parallel to a surface, causing it to slide or shear. It is the result of applied loads on a structure or object.
Shear force is calculated by summing all the external forces acting on a section of a structure or object and taking into account the direction of the forces. It is usually represented by the symbol 'V' and measured in units of force, such as Newtons (N) or pounds (lb).
Moment, also known as torque, is the measure of a force's tendency to cause an object to rotate around an axis. It is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance from the axis of rotation. Moment is usually represented by the symbol 'M' and measured in units of force multiplied by distance, such as Newton-meters (Nm) or pound-feet (lb-ft).
Shear force and moment are related in that they are both measures of the effect of external forces on a structure or object. Shear force causes a structure to slide or shear, while moment causes a structure to rotate. They are both important considerations in structural design and analysis.
The main difference between shear force and bending moment is the direction in which they act. Shear force acts parallel to a surface, while bending moment acts perpendicular to a surface. Shear force causes a structure to slide or shear, while bending moment causes a structure to bend or deform. They are both important factors in determining the stability and strength of a structure or object.
