When shear force zero at the time only we have maximum bending moment.

Where the shear force becomes zero. The B.M becomes maximum.

Proof:

The b.m for simply supported beam subjected to point load at middle.

The shear force at A.is W/2.
We know that the shear force becomes zero at L/2 of the span.

The B.M is maximum at L/2 the shear force becomes zero.
Therefore,
(W/2)*(L/2)=WL/4.

When no load applied on beam.

Since dM/dx = V.

So when V (shear force) = 0, => dM/dx = 0 means M can be maximum or minimum.

How is the answer maximum ?

Shear force is Zero then maximum B.M is applied.

Numerically we can't get the maximum value we have to see the loading condition.

You are right @Jay.

Like cantilever, and subjected to bending moment at the free end then there is no shear force (s.f.d is a straight line), and b.m.d is rectangular.

Syed irfan said:   8 years ago
No, it will not be maximum because bending moment is maximum at a point where shear force is zero only at a point not along the section.

Dhanunjay said:   8 years ago
Yes, @Syed Irfan.

My argument is also that only.

At the max BM SF will be zero. Not possible reverse side like where SF is zero BM is max.
