⇒ In between B and D shearing force changes sign at C. So C will be second support.
⇒ Reaction at C, RC = 16 + 9 = 25 kN
⇒ By inspecting figure, there will be point load of 3 kN at D.
⇒ Between B and D, slope of SFD is constant. Therefore, there will be a UDL

Q.16 Assuming E = 160 GPa and G = 100 GPa for a material, a strain tensor is given as
16. (2000)
⎡ γxy γxz ⎤

⎢γ γ yz ⎥
Strain tensor = ⎢ y x ∈yy ⎥
