Question
Determine the reactions at the supports $A$ and $B$, then draw the shear and moment diagrams. $E I$ is constant.
Step 1
We can use the equilibrium equations for this. The sum of the forces in the y-direction gives us: \[A_y + B_y = W \cdot L \tag{1}\] And the sum of the moments at A gives us: \[M_A + B_y \cdot L = W \cdot L \cdot \frac{L}{2} \tag{2}\] Show more…
