Figure 1: Free Body Diagram for Experiment 1

F=5 N

∑Fy= 0
RA + RB – (5) =0
∑MA =0
5(260) – RB (440)=0
RB=2.95 N

From
RA + RB -5 =0
RA= - 2.05 N

∑MC= 0
MC – 2.95(440) = 0
MC = 413 Nmm

The value of F=5 N was repeated with F=10 N, F=15 N, F=20 N

So the value of moment for :

F=10 N is , MC= 826 N

F=15 N is , MC= 1239 N
F=20 N is , MC=1652 N
 Figure 2: Free Body Diagram for Experiment 2 Case 1

∑Fy=0
RA+RB=15

∑MA=0
-RB(440) + 10(80) – 5(80) = 0
RB= 0.9 N
RA=14.1N

Taking moment at cut section,

∑MC=0
MC-RB(140)=0
MC=126 Nmm
 Figure 3: Free Body Diagram for Experiment 2 Case 2

∑Fy=0
RA + RB = 10 N

∑MA=0
-440 (RB) + 5 (320) + 5 (220) =0
RB= 6.14 N
RA=3.86 N

Taking moment at cut section,

∑MC=0
MC + 5 (20) – 140 (6.14) = 0
MC= 759.6 Nmm
 Figure 4: Free Body Diagram for Experiment 2 Case 3

∑Fy=0
RA + RB = 15

∑MA=0
-10 (100) + 5 (360) – RB (440) = 0
RB=1.82 Nmm
RA= 13.18 Nmm

Taking moment at cut section,

∑MC= 0
MC + 5(60) – 1.82(140) = 0
MC = -45.2 Nmm
