Chapter 7, Problem 116P

Replace the distributed loading with an equivalent resultant force, and specify its location on the beam measured from point A if the distributed load peaks at 6.4 kN/m above point B and drops to 3.1 kN/m at the end of the beam.

Find the EIy at the position Midway between the supports of the beam loaded as shown.

2) The 150 lb sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 3 lb/ft. Determine the maximum bending moment exerted on the boat. Assume that the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat. 7.5 ft 7.5 ft
