Your friend is developing a new bending test fixture and needs your
help to verify their calculations. They plan on having their samples be
simply supported by a frictionless wedge and a roller. The sample will
be subjected to a distributed load on one end and a point load on the
other, as shown in the provided figure. Using this information:
a) Determine the magnitude of the reaction forces at the wedge (at A) and at the roller (at B)
b) Draw the shear force (V) diagram for this sample under the loading described
c) Draw the moment (M) diagram for this sample under the loading described
d) Determine the maximum flexural (or bending) stress in the sample if it has a square cross-section with each side
measuring 15mm
