    Bending Moments
AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking assistance with calculating bending moments for a 3m bar supported at both ends, with loads of 5kN at 1m and 10kN at 2m. They have calculated moments at support A as 25/3 and upward forces at supports A and B as 8.3kN and 6.7kN, respectively. The user requests clarification on their calculations and suggests that a visual figure would aid in understanding. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accurate moment and force calculations in structural analysis. Additional input from experienced members would enhance the accuracy of the user's approach.

Hello all can anyone advise me if i am doing this right, i have a 3m bar supported at both ends at 1m in 5kn and 2m in 10 kn, i understood that moments A = 1x5 and 2x10 =25/3 and support A upward force 8.3kn and B 5+10-8.3 = 6.7kn? anyhelp would be great thanks

It would be a big help if you would post a figure.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
