AI Thread Summary
When using the method of sections to analyze a bar with a distributed load of 10 lbs/in, it is permissible to apply the resultant of the entire distributed load when taking a section of the bar. However, the specific location of the bar and whether it is part of a frame may influence the analysis. It is essential to ensure that the section taken accurately represents the loading conditions. The resultant load can simplify calculations, but understanding the distribution is crucial for accurate moment calculations at supports. Proper application of these principles will lead to correct structural analysis results.

I have a load distributed over a bar of 10lbs/in. Can i take a section of that bar (to use method of sections to find the moment in a pin at one end of the bar) and still apply the resultant of the distributed load? or must i use only part of the distributed load?
