⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5  Problem Statement Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the linearly loaded cantilever beam and specify the bending moment at the support . Problem 5/114 (a) Support Reactions and the Bending Moment 1. Present Final Formula: The resultant force of the triangular distributed load and the reaction moment are found by equilibrium: where is the load intensity at distance from the fixed support . 2. Substitute Values: 3. Partial Operations: Calculate resultant : Calculate reaction moment : 4. Final Calculation: The vertical reaction at is (upward). The reaction moment at the support is (counter-clockwise). ● Final Conclusion: The bending moment reaction at the support is in the counter-clockwise direction.
