An 'U' beam is a beam that is shaped like the letter 'U'. It is usually made of 3 parts; 2 sides and 1 bottom piece.
A beam would normally refer to an 'I' beam (A beam that is shaped like the letter 'I').
The difference is that cross section of the beams are different.
a beam balance measures mass while a spring balance measures weight
A light beam or beam of light is a narrow cone of light energy radiating from a small source. In optics, a ray is an idealized narrow beam of light.
A spring scale measures weight while a triple beam balance measures mass.
Take a beam as an example. Moment is responsible for a beam to rotate about some axis. Whereas bending moment are a pair of moments which will not rotate the beam but it will deflect it.
A cantilever has only one end or point fixed; this is an obvious difference between having two points or both ends fixed. The nature of bending moment is same throughout the span in the case of a cantilever beam whereas a fixed beam has both types of nature, i.e. sagging as well as hogging.
A beam will be placed horizontally, a column will be placed vertically.

An inverted beam is a beam whose bottom is the same as the slab. A drop beam is a beam that is put under the structural member it supports.
Beam can take transvesr loading and bar only axial loading
Just guessing but I imagine one is a high beam and one is a low beam.
A ridge board doesn't support rafters of the bridge whereas a ridge beam does.

A plinth refers to the base that a column rests on. Tie beam refers to a beam that connects two or more columns, that acts as a stiffener.
The different between suspension bridge and beam bridge are beam bridge are for short distance but suspension bridge for long distance. Beam bridge are used for highway passes and suspension bridge for wide waterway passes.
A spring scale measures weight while a triple beam balance measures mass.
