I'm in class right now, but this is how I got the moments. http://i.imgur.com/CkHwhBV.jpg

yes that is what we're supposed to get, but I'm not getting close to it. Pretty much all I have to do is get the moment of the beam as a function of x for the first half of the beam and the second half. From there, we take the integral twice. Anyway, I think my first question is, are the...

Homework Statement Obtain deflection curve in terms of q, L, and EI Homework Equations Use the second order differential equation of the deflection curve to solve. Meaning that the M(x) is the second derivative and you integrate twice to get V1 and V2 The Attempt at a Solution From the...

That's what I got. :smile:

Yes it is, and it's clockwise.

Your mistake is where you take the moment of the uniformly distributed load. You have "4(10kN)(4 + 4/2)" for the moment of the uniformly distributed load. You're right that the resultant force from the 10kN/m load will be 4*10 because the load is acting on the 4 meter length. This resultant...

Is A the pin support and B the roller support? I don't see it on picture

Problem Solved. I did it all by myself!

Homework Statement Plane stress in xy-plane. Use Mohr's Circle to find σx1 σy1 and τx1y1 if the XY axis is rotated counterclockwise θº I want to do my HW problem myself so I'll just put some sample values. If i know how to get this one, i'll know how to do the HW problem(s). (Units won't...

I understand that, but this isn't an exam. It's a take home quiz/assignment. It's worth a very small percentage of the overall grade, about 0.7% and I already had half right so you were only helping with 0.35%. Only reason I asked was because the book was of no help and there was no one else I...

It's a sort of take home quiz. The book doesn't go into depth into how to find this sort of info for these shapes. It just explains briefly for 1 or 2 wood boards, and i have 4. I think you may be right about the X1 being off. I think x1 will just be 10.5ft - 4ft. So x1=6.5ft. Therefore...

I guess it kinda helps prove my point, but I was kinda looking for a more mathematical response :)

Which wood cross sectioπ caπ carry hïghest uπiform load Homework Statement Homework Equations Moment of inertia for rectangle I=(1/12)bh3 τ=(VQ)/(I*b) σ=(MV)/I The Attempt at a Solution I started by finding reactions at B and C Then drew the sheer and moment diagrams (to save...

Homework Statement Homework Equations ƩFx=0 ƩFy=0 ƩMo=0 The Attempt at a Solution I have no clue. By cutting the pieces, it changes the length. By cutting the cable at c and removing the 2 supports, wouldn't it make all the forces and moments = 0?

So what I'm getting from this is that the maximum tension occurs at AB so I only set σmax=σAB and don't add them with the other member in tension. Thanks :)
