Homework Statement


to resist the bending, there must be reaction force(blue) act against the applied force(red), the reaction force that resist bending is the longitidunal normal force , right?
why the author stated it as longitidunal shear force, is it wrong?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


longitidunal shear force is the green colour arrow, right? how could the force resist the bending?

Your own diagram is inaccurate in several ways.
The set-up is a beam fixed at one end, with a transverse load applied at the other, not in the middle. There is no source of a force to provide the support you show in blue.
You do not show any forces where the beam is fixed. These forces will consist of a vertically upward force to balance the load, plus a torque to balance the moment of the load. This torque is transmitted in the form of the longitudinal shear forces.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
