Resolving Forces - Shear and Bending Moment -

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around resolving forces related to shear and bending moments in the context of second-year engineering mechanics. The original poster expresses difficulty in solving a complex problem involving a data table and associated questions, indicating a need for clarification and guidance on their attempts.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster has derived some forces but questions the correctness of their calculations, particularly in part 'a'. They express uncertainty about equilibrating moment forces and Force2, indicating a struggle with the problem setup.

Discussion Status

Some participants have requested the original poster to share their work for better assistance, highlighting the need for more information to provide effective guidance. The original poster has indicated they eventually worked out the problem independently, but there remains a lack of explicit consensus or collaborative resolution in the discussion.

Contextual Notes

The original poster mentions the absence of a solution from their lecturer until a solution booklet is distributed, which adds to their frustration and urgency in understanding the topic before an upcoming exam.

Resolving Forces - Shear and Bending Moment - :)

Homework Statement



The data table and associated questions are rather complex, if you have the time it would be much appreciated if you could have a look at the attachment and provide me with a solution or point me in the right, i just can't solve this question and i know there will be a similar one like it on my exam.

Homework Equations


This is second year engineering mechanics.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have come to find some answers however my lecturer swears by them being incorrect and he won't post a solution for me until he writes them up and distributes a solution booklet for everyone.. it's really unhelpful and i feel i need to get my head around this topic now before it's too late.

btw I've already derived the forces in qstn a)
Also i am capable of doing part d) but obviously i need the previous parts to be correct in order to complete the diagram. (Perhaps my part 'a' is wrong).
I just can't for the life of me equilibrate the moment force and Force2.

Thanks everyone :)

hey thanks for the reply, i'll get a hold of a scanner today and upload my work, thanks.
 


Well i ended up working it out anyway, couldn't find a scanner, but why didn't anyone help? lol at least could have pointed me in the right direction?

"Perhaps my part 'a' is wrong...I just can't for the life of me equilibrate the moment force and Force2." This is not enough information to help without seeing your calculations.

Oh come on man, i think you're being a bit stiff there, not even a little help? i don't have a scanner so i couldn't upload my work, it doesn't matter anyway i worked it out, thanks anyway.
