Locate the centroid of the shaded area straightforward calculus Compute the area moment of inertia about its centroidal x0 axis (1) parallel axis thm (2) and (3) use I about end (Ix) See Table D/3. For rectangular pieces: Ix = (b h^3)/3 Ix_bar = (b h^3)/12 Compute the area moments of inertia about the centroidal x0 and y0 axes (1) parallel axis thm There are two number 1 pieces See Table D/3. For rectangular pieces: Ix = (b h^3)/3 Ix_bar = (b h^3)/12 Compute the reactions at A and B Essentially using N2L and E2L E2L N2L N2L Compute the reactions at support A as a function of w0 and b This is cute Integrate to compute total load In moments, each force has a "lever arm" Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the internal moment at a section 0.5 m to the right of B Compute external reactions I don't like this. Should use FBDs to compute V & M. Let's not jump to diagrams Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the internal shear & moment at the middle of the beam Compute the external reactions 0<x<3 Use FBDs to find V and M 3<x<6 6<x<9 Middle: x = 4.5 Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the internal moment at section C Compute the external reactions I don't like this. Should use FBDs to compute V & M. Let's not jump to diagrams A sign convention: Down = +ive Up = -ive Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the distance b from the left end to where the internal moment is zero between the supports Compute the external reactions Again! Here's a nice FBD treatment Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the maximum magnitude of the internal moment Compute the external reactions
