⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5  Problem Statement Determine the reactions at and for the beam subjected to the couples and distributed load. At , the distributed load is increasing at the rate of per foot. The distributed load is given by the function . The load starts at at the left end () and ends at at . A clockwise couple of is applied at the left end, and a counter-clockwise couple of is applied at the right end (). Support is a pin located at and support is a roller located at . Problem 5/196 (a) Determination of Distributed Load Function and Resultant Force 1. Formula: The distributed load is . The total resultant force is and its centroidal location is . 2. Substitution: At . At . At . 3. Calculation: . . . . from the left end. 4. Result: acting at .
