Given the load beam in the figure below, with a cross section as shown in the other figure:
a. Resolve the distributed load into a resultant force at an equivalent location.
Draw a free body diagram of the beam.
Determine the reaction forces at the supports.
Sum moments about A to solve for the reaction at B.
b. Draw the shear and moment diagrams.
Determine the area moment of inertia about the neutral axis.
Determine the max bending stress.
