Hi
I am attempting a question on moments and beams.
I have attached the question and my solutions so far. But having trouble completing d) and e)
Can someone show how to work out bending moments and the point of contraflexure?

What have you done on part d so far. To you know how to determine the bending moment variation, given the shear force variation? How are the two related?

Having trouble doing bending moments and points of contraflexture. That's why I need help!
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
