(Beams Internal) A static load testing of aircraft wings is carried out 

(Beams Internal) A static load testing of aircraft wings is carried out by loading them with sandbags. One such example is shown in Fig 6(a). As a term project for your Mech-101 course you have been tasked to help out your final year senior in calculations. The load testing needs to be carried for the configuration given is Fig 6(b) as a cantilever beam. Draw proper free body diagrams during each major step of the question. Find out reactions at A, subsequently draw a shear force diagram as well as a bending moment diagrams till mid-point that is between point A and B only. You also MUST provide governing equations for shear force and bending moment diagrams and their maximum and minimum values within A and B points. 6 kN/m 6 kN/m B 1.5 m 1.5 m Fig 4(a) Fig 4(b)
