Question
A uniform symmetrical beam is supported
at two pin joints as shown below. It has a
length
L
and a uniformly distributed load
P: (x) = p
is applied.
The maximum bending moment
My (x)
will be half way along the beam.
If the length
L
is 9.1 m, and the distributed load
P
is 434 N/m, then calculate the value of
My (x)
at the mid-point.
