For finding bending moment and shear force in the beam, we do not consider the self-weight of the beam that why in the case of no external load. Bending moment diagram will linear.

Krishna sharma said:   9 years ago
In the calculation of bending moment and shear force, we do not consider the self-weight of the beam. So linear is correct.

Dalisha said:   9 years ago
Linear is correct because if we consider its self-weight as udl then for finding sfd and bmd by external loads we must consider its self-weight also and give its effect combined with udl.

Yes, linear is correct.

Tejaswini said:   9 years ago
Linear is correct. In any problems we are not considering the self weight while calculating sf and bm. Self weight of beam is neglected.

@All.

No, parabola is not a correct answer. Linear is correct.

We know that self-weight is UDL and UDL BM is parabola.

Here, the answer is the parabola (when self-weight should be considered) or it must be linear (when self-weight should not be considered).

Here there is no load acting on the beam.

So there is no upward force and downward force on the beam (self-weight is neglected) so BM variation is "Zeo (0) ".

Dhruba said:   8 years ago
Yes, linear is the correct answer since there is no point or UDLload acting on the beam and the self-weight of the beam is neglected.

Chandu said:   8 years ago
Yes, linear is the correct answer.
