Consider the below statements with respect to characteristics of the bending moment diagram (BMD) for beam and identify the correct answer.
Statement A: If a beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load throughout its span, the shape of BMD will be a cubic parabolic curve.
Statement B: If a cantilever beam is subjected to a uniformly varying load (UVL) throughout its span the maximum value of bending moment will be at a distance of 2/3rd of the span measured from zero intensity of UVL.
1
Both statements are correct.
2
Statement B is correct and A is incorrect.
3
Statement A is correct and B is incorrect.
4
Both statements are incorrect.
