AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on verifying the calculations for support reactions at points 'A' and 'B' of a simply supported beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load and two point loads. The poster expresses confidence in their solution and suggests checking if the moments about a different origin sum to zero as a validation method. Participants are encouraged to review the calculations for accuracy. The focus remains on ensuring the correctness of the beam analysis. Accurate determination of support reactions is crucial for structural integrity.

Hi, wondering if any can have a look a the below to see if my working outs are correct.

Thanks.

1. Homework Statement

Determine the two support reactions at positions ‘A’ and ‘B’ for the following simply supported beam which is acted on by a uniformly distributed load (UDL) and two point loads.

Looks correct to me. A good check is to see if the moments add to zero about a different origin.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
