Question
A simple beam AB supports two connected
wheel loads 3P and 2P that are a distance d apart (see
figure). The wheels may be placed at any distance
x from the left-hand support of the beam. (Assume
P =12 kN, d = 2 m, and L =15 m.)
(a) Determine the distance x that will produce the
maximum shear force in the beam, and also
determine the maximum shear force Vmax.
(b) Determine the distance x that will produce the
maximum bending moment in the beam, and
also draw the corresponding bending-moment
diagram.
