MEM30005 — Calculate force systems within simple beam structures

1 Determine the resultant and equilibrant of systems of coplanar forces

• 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
• 1.2Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant and equilibrant of coplanar force systems
• 1.3Calculate the line of action of a resultant using the principle of moments

2 Determine reactions and moments for a simple horizontal beam subject to a combination of uniform and point loading

• 2.1Calculate the support reactions for a simply supported horizontal beam using the equations of equilibrium and including the moment effect of a couple
• 2.2Determine the possible types of failure that need to be considered
• 2.3Draw shear force and bending moment diagrams
• 2.4Determine bending stress
• 2.5Complete calculations to determine the nominal size for the beam
• 2.6Apply factors of safety to finalise nominal size of beam

What does an assessment tool for MEM30005 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM30005 needs to address all 37 unit components: 2 elements with 9 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 25 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM30005?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM30005 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM30005 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM30005 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM30005, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
