    Why Does a Triangular Load on a Beam Require Multiple Moment Calculations?

    I have a problem that shows a triangular distributed load on a beam (studying for NCEES civil engineering exam). At one end of the triangle we have a force magnitude level of "w" and the other end is labeled "wL/6." They tell me that a triangular load is equivalent to a concentrated load of...
