ShearForce & Bending Moment Exp

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between vertical distance changes and force readings in shear force and bending moment experiments. The participant posits that the force will only change when the applied force is at a 90-degree angle to the point of application. They conclude that vertical changes perpendicular to the force application will not affect the readings, although they express uncertainty about their reasoning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of shear force and bending moment concepts
  • Familiarity with basic physics principles regarding force and motion
  • Knowledge of experimental setup in mechanical engineering
  • Ability to interpret force diagrams and load applications
NEXT STEPS

Homework Statement


Recently I am undergoing such experiment in school
and my lecturer asked that, as if any changes in the distance(vertically) will there be changes in the force/reading of it?Assuming there is no changes in anything else except the position of the tools.
(Since the "Cell load" is fixed I was unable to test it over the lab)

The Attempt at a Solution


My guess are
-the force will only change as if there is 90degree to the force applied point
-since the changes is perpendicular to it, so there will be no effect on it.

(Sorry for Bad English)
(I've fail much in my grammar )
