Step 1
The total load on the beam is the area of the triangle, which is (1/2)*base*height = (1/2)*L*2w = wL. This load is distributed evenly between the two supports, so each support carries a load of (1/2)*wL. Show more…

QUESTION 3 (20 marks) a) A beam of length L is embedded at its left end and simply supported at its right end. Find the deflection of the beam if the load distribution w(x) along its length is given by w(x) = w0 sin(πx/L), w0 is a constant.

The beam has a rectangular cross section with $b=4$ in. Determine the largest maximum intensity $w_{0}$ of the triangular distributed load that can be supported if the allowable bending stress is $\sigma_{\text {allow }}=1.40 \mathrm{ksi}$.
