In figure, there is a single rigid beam supported at two points: A and B. Calculate the reaction forces at the supports A and B. Neglect the weight and thickness of the beam. Note: Point A - pin connection Point B - roller support contact with smooth surface

Step 1
First, we need to identify the forces acting on the beam. Since the weight and thickness of the beam are neglected, we only need to consider the external forces acting on the beam. Let's assume there is a force F acting at some point C on the beam. Show more…

A propped cantilever beam $A B$ of length $L$ carries a concentrated load $P$ acting at the position shown in the figure. Determine the reactions $R_{A}, R_{B},$ and $M_{A}$ for this beam. Also, draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams, labeling all critical ordinates.
Statically Indeterminate Beams
Method of Superposition
The beam is supported by a pin at $A$, a roller at $B$, and a post having a diameter of $50 \mathrm{mm}$ at $C .$ Determine the support reactions at $A, B,$ and $C .$ The post and the beam are made of the same material having a modulus of elasticity $E=200 \mathrm{GPa},$ and the beam has a constant moment of inertia $I=255\left(10^{6}\right) \mathrm{mm}^{4}$.
Determine the reactions at the bearing support $A$ and fixed support $B,$ then draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam. $E I$ is constant.
