Locate The Centroid of The Shaded Area

The document provides steps for analyzing the internal forces in a beam subjected to a distributed load, including calculating reactions, drawing free body diagrams to determine shear and moment, and using the results to find the location of zero moment and maximum magnitude of moment in the beam. It emphasizes using free body diagrams to calculate shear and moment rather than jumping directly to shear and moment diagrams.

Locate the

centroid of the
shaded area
straightforward
calculus
Compute the
area moment
of inertia about
its centroidal
x0 axis
(1) parallel
axis thm
(2) and (3)
use I about
end (Ix)

See Table D/3.


For rectangular pieces:
Ix = (b h^3)/3
Ix_bar = (b h^3)/12
Compute the
area moments
of inertia about
the centroidal
x0 and y0 axes
(1) parallel
axis thm

There are
two
number 1
pieces
See Table D/3.
For rectangular pieces:
Ix = (b h^3)/3
Ix_bar = (b h^3)/12
Compute the reactions at A and B
Essentially using
N2L and E2L

E2L

N2L

N2L
Compute the reactions at
support A as a function of w0
and b
This is
cute

Integrate to
compute total
load

In moments,
each force has
a "lever arm"
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment
diagrams. Determine the internal moment at a section
0.5 m to the right of B
Compute
external
reactions

I don't like this.


Should use
FBDs to
compute V & M.
Let's not jump to
diagrams
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the
internal shear & moment at the middle of the beam
Compute
the
external
reactions

0<x<3 Use FBDs to find V and M

3<x<6

6<x<9

Middle:
x = 4.5
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the
internal moment at section C
Compute
the external
reactions

I don't like this. A sign convention:


Should use FBDs to Down = +ive
compute V & M. Up = -ive
Let's not jump to
diagrams
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine the
distance b from the left end to where the internal moment is zero between
the supports
Compute
the external
reactions

Again! Here's a
nice FBD
treatment
Use FBDs to construct the shear and moment diagrams. Determine
the maximum magnitude of the internal moment
Compute
the external
reactions
