SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating shear and moment diagrams for a structural analysis problem involving forces Fpy = 10 N and Ffy = 10 N, along with moments Mp = 0.15 Nm and Mf = 0.45 Nm. The user, Jim, confirms the accuracy of the shear diagram but expresses uncertainty about the moment diagram's shape, suggesting it may slope to zero at both ends. A key point raised is the lack of support information in the initial diagram, which is critical for accurate analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of shear and moment diagrams in structural analysis
  • Knowledge of static equilibrium principles
  • Familiarity with forces and moments in mechanics
  • Ability to interpret and draw free-body diagrams
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of static equilibrium in structural engineering
  • Learn how to accurately draw shear and moment diagrams
  • Explore the impact of support conditions on moment diagrams
  • Review examples of shear and moment diagrams for various loading conditions
USEFUL FOR

Students in civil or structural engineering, educators teaching mechanics of materials, and professionals involved in structural analysis and design.

Shear and moment diagram--Need help!

Homework Statement



On the attached question:

Fpy = 10 N
Ffy = 10 N

Mp = 0.15 Nm
Mf = 0.45 Nm


Homework Equations



Draw the shear and moment diagrams.

The Attempt at a Solution



If you look at the answer I posted, I believe the shear diagram (top) is correct. I'm not sure about the shape of the moment diagram though. Perhaps it would slope to zero on both ends. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Jim

We would not know, because you did not show the supports on your first diagram.
