at C of the cantilevered beam

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

F = 270 N/m

2. Relevant equations
ΣV = 0
ΣM = 0
ΣN = 0

3. The attempt at a solution
section CB

k/6 = 270/9
k = 180 N/m

resultant force = area under the curve = 1/2 * 180 * 6 = 540 N

ΣN = 0
-N = 0
N = 0

ΣV = 0
V - resultant = 0
v = resultant = 540 N

How can i find M ?

You can calculate the shear force diagram for this beam given the loading as shown.

What's the relationship between the bending moment and the shear force?

### PhanthomJay

You have already determined the resultant force of the load . At what point does it act? Then sum moments and watch directions.

both occur because of force perpendicular to beam ?
center of the beam ?

That's not the relationship which is useful in calculating M.

At the free end of the cantilever, M = 0. What must M be at point C for that segment of the beam to remain in equilibrium?

[QUOTE="newbphysic, post: 5400435, member: 557120]

center of the beam ?[/QUOTE] in the free body diagram you have drawn, the resultant of the triangularity distributed load acts at the cg of that load. Where's that?

### newbphysic

the relationship between M and shear force is shear force causes bending moment ?

Since M=0 at the end of cantilever that means M must be 0 at C to remain equilibrium

if the beam is uniform then cg will be length / 2 = 6/2 = 3m from C

The only problem is, M can't be zero at point C, 'cuz of that applied force. What's the moment due to the applied force?

### PhanthomJay

in your diagram, the loading on the beam is not uniform; it is triangular. The centroid of a triangle is not at its center.

### newbphysic

The moment is the sum of all forces from B to C = 540 N
centroid of triangle is 1/3 * 6 = 2

That's not what a moment is.
How do you use the centroid of the applied load to calculate the moment due to that load?

12. Mar 5, 2016

### PhanthomJay

Yes , 2 m from where? Now place the resultant force at that point and sum moments about the left end of your section to find the internal moment at that end.

### newbphysic

moment is force times distance.
so it's 540 times the distance to the left side of the beam
Is that what you mean ?

total force times the distance from centroid to C

2m from zero reference point means from the left of the beam.
so moment = $force * distance = 540 *2 = 1080 Nm$

$ΣM = 0$

$M + 1080 Nm = 0$

$M = -1080 Nm$

M is anti - clockwise

Thanks a lot phantom

OK!
