⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5 Problem Statement Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the loaded beam. What are the values of the shear force and bending moment at the middle of the beam? Problem 5/109 (a) Support Reactions ● Calculation Process 1. Present Final Formula: To find the reaction at support , we apply the moment equilibrium equation about point . Then, we use the force equilibrium equation in the vertical direction to find the reaction at support . 2. Substitute Values: Assuming upward forces and counter-clockwise moments as positive for the equilibrium equations: 3. Partial Operations: Solving for : Solving for : 4. Final Calculation: B A A M = ∑ A 0, F = ∑ y 0 M = ∑ A (1000 lb)(3 ft)+2100 lb-ft−B (9 ft)= y 0 F = ∑ y A − y 1000 lb+B = y 0 B y 3000+2100=9B y 5100=9B y B = y ≈ 9 5100 566.67 lb A y A = y 1000−566.67=433.33 lb A = y 433.3 lb(↑) B = y 566.7 lb(↑) ● Final Conclusion: The vertical reactions at the supports are and . (b) Shear Force and Bending Moment at the Middle ● Calculation Process 1. Present Final Formula: The middle of the beam is at from point . We cut the beam at this point and consider the equilibrium of the left portion. 2. Substitute Values: The cut is between the load and the concentrated couple. 3. Partial Operations: Calculate : Calculate : 4. Final Calculation: ● Final Conclusion: At the middle of the beam (), the shear force is and the bending moment is . (c) Shear and Bending Moment Diagrams ● Calculation Process 1. Present Final Formula
