For the 30 m long beam shown below, first calculate the reaction forces. Then:
a) Draw a partial FBD of the beam from x=3m to the right end of the beam (shown below).
At the cut surface at x=3m, three unknown internal forces are exposed:
Axial Force N (perpendicular to the cut surface, this is the same as tension/compression forces)
Shear Force V (parallel to the cut surface)
Bending Moment M
Use equations of equilibrium to solve for these unknown internal forces, N,V,M, at x=3m. Plot the value V (at x =3m) on the shear force diagram (SFD) at x=3m and
For the 3 0 m long beam shown below, first
