Q1:

A pile of length L carrying a uniformly distributed load W per metre length is suspended at two points, the maximum, B.M. at the centre of the pile or at the points of suspension, is

A

B

C

D

E

ANS:C -

The pile is suspended at one point, max moment = wL^2/8.
The pile is suspended at two points, max moment = wL^2/47.
The pile is suspended at three points, max moment = wL^2/90.
And Suspended means the pile is hanging at one or two points... 1. The pile is suspended at one point, max moment=wL^2/8.
2. The pile is suspended at two points, max moment=wL^2/47.
3. The pile is suspended at three points, max moment=wL^2/90.
And Suspended means the pile is hanging at one or two points.
