Question 1:
The beam supports the distributed load shown. Determine the resultant internal loadings
on the cross section through point C, D and E. Assume the reactions at the supports
A and B are vertical.
Given:
F2 = N/m
F1 = N/m
Solution:
Support reaction:
R1 = kN
R2 = kN
M A 0; B y 7 R1 3.5 R 2 8 0
By kN
Fy 0; Ay B y R1 R 2 0
Ay kN
Equation of equilibrium: For point C
R5 = kN
Fx 0; Nc 0
Fy 0; Ay R5 VC 0
VC kN
M A 0; M c R5 2 Vc 4 0
MC kNm
Negative sign indicates that Vc acts in the opposite direction to that shown on FBD.
Equation of equilibrium: For point D
R3 = kN
Fx 0; ND 0
Fy 0; Ay R3 VD 0
VD kN
M at D 0; M D R31 Ay 2 0
MD kNm
ME kNm
Negative sign indicates that Me acts in the opposite direction to that shown on FBD.
