A 16 foot long beam supports the loading shown; the cross section is shown on the next page.
Points \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{C}\)(pin joint), and the applied forces and moment are on the centroidal axis of the beam. \( z=0\) at the extreme left end of the beam.
(a) Determine the centroid location and moment of inertia for the cross section.
(b) Draw a free-body diagram for the beam, and determine the reaction forces.
(c) Determine the internal forces at the centroid of a section a-a located at \( Z=2\mathrm{ft}\).
(d) Determine the stresses for a point D that is on section a-a. located 3 in DOWN from the top surface. and show the stress state (in psi or ksi ) for the point \(\mathbf{D}\) on a volume element.
(e) Determine the internal forces at the centroid of a section \( b-b \) located at \( Z=9\mathrm{ft}\).
(f) Determine the stresses for a point E that is on section \(\boldsymbol{b}-\boldsymbol{b}\), located 3 in UP from the bottom surface, and show the stress state (in psi or ksi ) for the point \(\mathbf{E}\) on a volume element.
(g) Determine the internal forces at the centroid of a section c-clocated at \( Z=11\mathrm{ft}\).
(h) Determine the stresses for a point \(\mathbf{H}\) that is on section \(\boldsymbol{c}\)-c. located 10 in UP from the bottom surface. and show the stress state (in psi or ksi ) for the point \(\mathbf{H}\) on a volume element.
