⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5 Problem Statement Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam subjected to the two point loads. Determine the maximum bending moment and its location. Problem 5/113 (a) Calculation of Support Reactions 1. Formula: We apply the equilibrium equations for the entire beam. Let and be the vertical reactions at supports and , respectively. Summing moments about point : And summing vertical forces: 2. Substitution: From the moment equation: 3. Calculation: Solving for : Solving for using : 4. Result: (acting downwards), (acting upwards). ● Final Conclusion: The reaction at support is downwards, and the reaction at support is upwards.
