Structural Mechanics: Solving Shear Force on a Cut Beam

AI Thread Summary
To solve shear force on a cut beam, clarity in the question is essential for effective assistance. A user seeks help with a specific problem involving a timber beam with a 4 m span and a uniform distributed load of 40 kN, needing to determine a suitable section based on a safe allowable bending stress of 6 N/mm². The discussion highlights the importance of posting in a legible format and adhering to forum rules for homework queries. Users are encouraged to create new threads in the appropriate sections for better support. Clear communication is key to receiving helpful responses in technical discussions.

I would answer you if I could understand what the heck you just asked. Post in a legible format and you will be helped.
 


Hi

Does anyone know how i go about answering the following question:

A timber beam with a span of 4 m is carrying an inclusive UDL of 40 kN. The safe allowable bending stress is 6 N / mm2. Choose a suitable section for the beam.

Thanks
 
It's obvious this is a homework question, and you woke up a 4 year old thread to ask it.

Make a new thread in the homework section, follow the posting rules, and people will be happy to help.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
