Which mathematical function describes the load distribution of a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) along the length of a beam?

14. Which mathematical function describes the load distribution of a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) along the length of a beam?

1. Linear function
2. Quadratic function
3. Exponential function
4. Constant function

Answer

The correct answer is: D) Constant function

Explanation

A UDL applies a constant load per unit length along the entire span of the beam, resulting in a constant load distribution function.
