10 T-M

Bending moment =10 Tonne.meter

Force x arm length =5x2=10T

a moment of 10T will be at free end

M = L * Q = 2m. * 5ton = 10T-м

10Ton-meter moment. Point load of 5ton will create at the fixed end of a cantilever beam of span of 2meter have 5*2=10.

Support would be a fixed support and value woould be 10T-m (Force x moment arm)

M=F*l

The moment on the support will be : 5*2=10t.m

At the face of the support M = 10.00 t-m

It is a Concentrated load with a value of5 tons on the free end of a2 meter cantilever.

If you are going to draw the shear and moment diagram, you will have a rectangular shape for shear where in the load goes down5 tons in the2 meter span. And a triangular shape for the moment to it's support.

Maximum Moment = Moment at the Support

 

Maximum Moment =5 tons *2 meter

Maximum Moment =10 tons.meter
