  • Q1. Show the forces on a cantilever beam
  • Ans. 

    Forces on a cantilever beam include bending moment, shear force, and axial force.

    • Bending moment is the force that causes the beam to bend.

    • Shear force is the force that acts parallel to the beam's cross-section.

    • Axial force is the force that acts along the length of the beam.

    • Example: A cantilever beam with a load applied at the free end will experience bending moment, shear force, and axial force.

After 41 years, the Indian flag flies in space on an astronaut's suit.
Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla is now orbiting earth on a spaceX crew dragon, marking India's first privately backed human spaceflight mission! Unlike the 1984 mission, ISRO is partnering with axiom space and spaceX as equals. Shukla's experiments in space agriculture, muscle regeneration, and cognitive performance will directly contribute to India's Gaganyaan program. By 2027, India aims to launch its own astronauts on its own rockets from its own soil. This shift opens doors to microgravity research, international partnerships, and commercial space opportunities in the $400 billion space market. Jai Hind!
