How are Square and Triangle waveforms produced from Sinusoidal waveforms? Thanks Greg

I have calculated one of the 2 questions successfully with it being a simply supported beam, now i am stuck on the remaining question. Previously i have used the double integration method. It is as follows: "A cantilever beam, 15m long has a UDL of 25N/m acting along its entire length and...

Many thanks for all your contributions, the answer of 151kg max load using the formula posted by minger allowed me to calculate the correct answer.

I want to know what the maximum end point load is in kg, which the cantilever beam can withstand without exceeding a stress of 60MN/m2 due to bending, within the beam. Do i need to include any detail of the material (steel) in the equation?

In response to minger where do i add the details of the material properties, (such as rigidity, & strength) into the equation? At the moment i have an answer of a max load of ~200kg - 50kg for hoist = ~150kg. But this does not take into consideration what the beam is made out of. M = Sigma x I...

I have an answer, but have not included any detail of E modulus of elasticity for steel, where is this used in the equation? You haven't shown E in the previous posts formulae.

I have a college HNC engineering question which I am having problems with, I am OK with calculating the I values, and deflection (if needed). But am wondering on what formulae are required and how to use them, to calculate the maximum loading mass in Kg for a cantilevered beam. The question...

A frictionless cylindrical flywheel, of diameter 250mm and mass 30kg, has a string attached/wrapped on the outside diameter, with a mass of 10kg on the other end. What is the radius of gyration of the flywheel? If the mass starts 1.5m form the floor, what will its speed be when the mass is...
