Statics Engineering Problem Involving Beams

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a statics engineering problem involving beams, with the original poster seeking feedback on their solution. They provided links to their homework and attempted solutions for review. Key points include inquiries about the correctness of their solution and the presence of a bending moment to the left of R1. Another participant confirms the existence of a bending moment due to the beam's loading and expresses confidence in the calculations up to M3. Overall, the thread focuses on collaborative problem-solving in engineering statics.

Anybody?
 
Is your solution incorrect? Is there a bending moment the the left of R1?
 
I am not a civil engineer but I read that the bending moment is the integral of the sheer force diagram. It looks like this is what you have done. I see there is a bending moment to the left of R1 due to the loading of the beam.
 
I checked your numbers up to M3 and I think you are doing good.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
