General Equilibrium Problems (examples continued)
|
Example: Consider beam AB under a distributed load as shown below. Determine the support reactions at both the pin and roller supports.
|
|
The first step is to replace the distributed load with equipollent loading consisting of two concentrated loads appropriately located along the beam. Shown below.
|
|
The next step is to construct a FBD to identify the unknown support reactions. |
