Shear force and moment

Classical Mechanics Level pending

Consider a uniform beam of mass 12 kg 12\text{kg} and length 20 m 20\text{m} . Let x x be the horizontal distance, in meters, from the left hand end of the beam. Two supports A and B support the beam at x = 0 m x=0\text{m} and x = 16 m x=16\text{m} respectively. A (rectangular) mass M 1 M_1 of length 6 m 6\text{m} is placed on the beam, with its geometric center at x = 5 m x=5\text{m} . Its mass density, in kg/m \text{kg/m} , is modeled by ρ ( x ) = x \rho(x)=x . Another mass M 2 M_2 is also placed on the beam with its left edge at x = 19 m x=19\text{m} . If the equations for the shear force and bending moment along the beam are V ( x ) V(x) and M ( x ) M(x) respectively, calculate M ( 4 ) + V ( 4 ) g \frac{M(4)+V(4)}{g} .

Details and Assumptions :

  • Positive shear force is downwards; positive moment is anti-clockwise. And vice versa.
  • Ignore the width of M 1 M_1 .
  • M 2 M_2 is a square mass of side length 2 m 2\text{m} and mass density 5 kg/m 2 5\text{kg/m}^2 .
  • g g is the gravity constant, g = 9.81 ms 2 g=9.81\text{ms}^{-2} .
