The simple beam $A B$ supports a triangular load of maximum intensity $q_{0}=1750 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ acting over one-half of the span and a concentrated load $P=350 \mathrm{N}$ acting at midspan (see figure). Draw the shear-force and bendingmoment diagrams for this beam.
Added by Mireia P.
Step 1
The total load on the beam is the sum of the triangular load and the concentrated load. The triangular load can be calculated as the area of the triangle, which is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * (L/2) * q0 = q0L/4. The total load is then q0L/4 + P. The Show more…

A simply supported wood beam $A B$ with span length $L=4 \mathrm{m}$ carries a uniform load of intensity $q=5.8 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}$ (see figure) (a) Calculate the maximum bending stress $\sigma_{\max }$ due to the load $q$ if the beam has a rectangular cross section with width $b=140 \mathrm{mm}$ and height $h=240 \mathrm{mm}$ (b) Repeat part (a) but use the trapezoidal distributed load shown in the figure part b.

\bullet A uniform beam 4.0 $\mathrm{m}$ long and weighing 2500 $\mathrm{N}$ carries a 3500 $\mathrm{N}$ weight 1.50 $\mathrm{m}$ from the far end, as shown in Figure $10.63 .$ It is supported horizontally by a hinge at the wall and a metal wire at the far end (a) Make a free-body diagram of the beam. (b) How strong does the wire have to be? That is, what is the minimum tension it must be able to support without breaking? (c) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam?
