Consider the two beams below; they are loaded the same but have different support conditions. Which beam has the larger maximum moment?
First, find support reactions, then plot axial force (N), shear (V) and moment (M) diagrams for both beams. Label all critical N, V & M values and also the distance to points where N, V &/or M is zero.
