Find normal force, shear force, bending moment

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on calculating normal force, shear force, and bending moment in a statics problem. The participant initially reported values of V_c = 75 lb and M_c = 1125 lb*ft but faced confusion regarding the choice of section for analysis. Ultimately, the participant resolved the issue independently, confirming that the choice of side (left or right) does not affect the final results in this context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic statics principles
  • Familiarity with mechanics of materials
  • Knowledge of shear and bending moment diagrams
  • Ability to perform equilibrium calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of shear and bending moment equations
  • Learn how to create shear and bending moment diagrams
  • Explore the effects of different loading conditions on structures
  • Review examples of statics problems involving multiple sections
USEFUL FOR

Students in engineering disciplines, particularly those studying statics and mechanics of materials, as well as professionals involved in structural analysis and design.

Hello.
This is a basic statics/mechanics of materials problem.
Here's an image of my work.

I've taken a course in statics before, and this is supposed to be review, but I can't seem to get the correct answers which are V_c = 75 lb, M_c = 1125 lb*ft. I've chosen the right side, and it seems as though the book chooses the left side. I don't believe there should be any difference in choice. Can someone please help point me in the right direction?

Nevermind. I see the issue now. It's solved.
