6. The bending moment at a section tends to bend or deflect the beam and the internal stresses resist its bending. The resistance offered by the internal stresses, to the bending, is called
9. When the shear force diagram between any two points is an inclined straight line, it indicates that there is a uniformly varying load between the two points.
10. The maximum bending moment of a cantilever beam of length l and carrying a uniformly distributed load of w per unit length lies at the middle of its length.
