What is Shear force and beanding moment .

Question

Accepted Answer

Shear force is the force that acts parallel to the surface of a material, while bending moment is the measure of bending effect on a material.

Shear force is the force that tends to cause deformation by sliding one part of the material over another in opposite directions.
Bending moment is the measure of the bending effect on a material due to an external force applied perpendicular to the material.
Shear force and bending moment are important concepts in structural engineering to analyze the behavior of materials under different loading conditions.
For example, in a beam subjected to a uniform load, the shear force will be constant along the length of the beam, while the bending moment will vary.
