Ok, I have discussed it with my mentor and he hasn't got all the details. He therefore provided the attached model to calculate M and V. However, since I am most likely looking to wrong way, could you help me please with M and V (shear force)?
Steamking, I asked some more information from my mentor and what I got was the following:
- The force T is at a hinged connection (can generate no moment).
- V, M and F are a pinned connection. Hence, the beam is fixed at this location.
Does this help?
Hi Steamking, that is correct. The weight and buoyancy are derived from a vessel which is submerged in the water. It is a basic element which is a beam at an attitude with the horizontal. I do understand your reply about the equally distributed load.
What I did is, I ignored the shear and...
Hi Steamking, sorry, but this is all I have got. It is a supplemental case which was given to me in the sketch stating that I need to derive M and V. I only have the sketch which I attached to the post. What do you need specifically?
Homework Statement
Hi all, I have a problem determining the moment and shear force at a location. The moment, I think, I have already solved. But I get stuck at calculating the shear force at the same location. It is for a element that is suspended in water, thus the weight of the element...
