calculus
Compute the
area moment
of inertia about
its centroidal
x0 axis
 (1) parallel
axis thm
(2) and (3)
use I about
end (Ix)

See Table D/3.

For rectangular pieces:
Ix = (b h^3)/3
Ix_bar = (b h^3)/12
Compute the
area moments
of inertia about
the centroidal
x0 and y0 axes

There are
two
number 1
pieces
See Table D/3.
For rectangular pieces:
Ix = (b h^3)/3
Ix_bar = (b h^3)/12
Compute the reactions at A and B

Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment
diagrams. Determine the internal moment at a section
0.5 m to the right of B
 Compute
external
reactions

I don't like this.

Should use
FBDs to
compute V & M.
Let's not jump to
diagrams
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the
internal shear & moment at the middle of the beam
 Compute
the
external

0<x<3 Use FBDs to find V and M

3<x<6

6<x<9

Middle:
x = 4.5
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the
internal moment at section C
 Compute
the external
reactions

I don't like this. A sign convention:

Should use FBDs to Down = +ive
compute V & M. Up = -ive
Let's not jump to
diagrams
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the
distance b from the left end to where the internal moment is zero between
the supports

Again! Here's a
nice FBD
