Question
please can you explain how they got the direction of the moments . and alos how i should determine the direction of the moment when dealing with this thyps of questions

Transcribed Image Text:Fig. 4 details a cantilever frame. Compute the reactions at support A and indicate their directions.
3 m
20 kN
R₁-
4 m
2x4=8 kN!
B
2m
D
TTTTT
R3 R₂
2 kN/m 110 kN
4 m

C
|2m|
Fig. 4
15 kN.m
Solution:
ΣFx = 0:
ΣF, = 0:
EM@A=0:
R₁-20=0
R₁ = 20 kN (→)
R₂-8-10-0
R₂ = 18 kN (1)
R3 + 20 × 4-8 x 210 × (2+4) - 15 = 0
R3 11 kNm (.))
Static check:
EM@c = R3 + R₁ × (3+4) - R₂ × (4+2) - 20 × 3+ 8x (2+2) - 15
= 11+20 × 7-18 x 6-20 x 3 + 8×4-15
= 0
