    How to Calculate the Maximum Bending Moment of a Simply Supported Beam with UDL?

    Yep. Thanks. I have tried to calculate the it using +(p*d)-(ws)(GX). For this question, i used, (120*3.5)-(40*3)(1.5). Did i did anything wrong?

    How Is Displacement Calculated in a Compound Bar Under Load?

    Homework Statement A steel bar and a brass bar, both of 36 mm diameter, are joined at point C to form a compound bar. Neglect the weight of the bars. Determine the displacement (in mm) of point D due to the loading. The forces are PB=54 kN and PD=117 kN at points B and D respectively...

    How to Calculate the Maximum Bending Moment of a Simply Supported Beam with UDL?

    A simply supported beam is loaded with a uniformly distributed load (UDL) W=40 kN/m from C to D. The maximum Bending Moment value occurs at the mid-length of the beam, i.e. 3.5 m from the left hand end A. What is the value of the maximum bending moment? Give your answer in kNm, with 1 decimal place.
