Answer to Problem 28P

Explanation of Solution
Sign conversion:
Apply the sign convention for calculating the equations of equilibrium as below.
- For the horizontal forces equilibrium condition, take the force acting towards right side as positive (→+) and the force acting towards left side as negative (←−).
- For the vertical forces equilibrium condition, take the upward force as positive (↑+) and downward force as negative (↓−).
- For moment equilibrium condition, take the clockwise moment as negative and counter clockwise moment as positive.
Apply the following sign convention for calculating the shear and bending moments.
- When the portion of the beam considered is left of the section, then the external force acting to the left are considered as positive.
- When the portion of the beam considered is right of the section, then the external force acting to the right are considered as positive.
- When the portion of the beam considered is left of the section, then the external force acting upward are considered as positive.
- When the portion of the beam considered is right of the section, then the external force acting downward are considered as positive.
- When the portion of the beam considered is left of the section, then the clockwise moments are considered as positive.
- When the portion of the beam considered is right of the section, then the counterclockwise moments are considered as positive.

Consider section AB:
Consider the left side of the section aa for calculation of shear and bending moment.
Show the free-body diagram of the left side of the section aa as in Figure 3.

S=26.33−2x+x220 for 0<x<20 ft
Find the moment at section aa by taking moment about the section aa.

M= 26.33x−x2+x360 for 0<x<20 ft
Consider section BC:
Consider the left side of the section bb for calculation of shear and bending moment.
Show the free-body diagram of the left side of the section bb as in Figure 4.
Find the shear at section bb by resolving the vertical equilibrium.

Find the moment at section bb by taking moment about the section bb.

Thus, the equation of shear is S=26.33−2x+x220 for 0<x<20 ft;S=6.33−(x−20)220 for 20 ft<x<50 ft_.
Thus, the equation of bending moment is M= 26.33x−x2+x360 for 0<x<20 ft;M=6.33x+133.33−(x−20)360 for 20 ft<x<50 ft_.
Thea bending moment is maximum where the shear force is 0.
Equate the equation (1) to 0.
0=6.33−(x−20)220(x−20)2=6.33×20x−20=11.25x=31.25 ft
Substitute 31.25 ft for x in Equation (2).
Mmax=6.33(31.25)+133.33−(31.25−20)360=307.5 k-ft
Tabulate the shear and bending moment values at important locations of the beam as in Table 1.
Distance x, ft (From left) | Shear, k | Bending moment, k-ft |
0– | 0 | 0 |
0+ | 26.33 | 0 |
20 | 6.33 | 260 |
31.25 | 0 | 307.5 |
50– | –38.67 | 0 |
50+ | 0 | 0 |
Refer Table 1.
The negative sign indicates that just left of the point and the positive sign indicates that just right of the point.
