Chapter 7, Problem 66P

1. Determine the normal force, shear force, and moment at point C. 10 kN C -1.5 m 1.5 m 1.5 m 15 kN -1.5 m B

Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam and determine the shear and moment in the beam as functions of x, where 4 ft 6 x 6 10 ft.

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.
