Learning Goal:
A beam with length $L = 2.4 \text{ m}$ is supported by a pin joint at A
and a cable attached at C as shown in (Figure 1). It is subjected
to the distributed load with $w_1 = 1.3 \text{ kN/m}$ and $w_2 = 1.7 \text{ kN/m}$
The angle between the cable and the beam is $\theta = 30^\circ$.
Determine the normal force, shear force, and bending moment
acting at point B, located $x = 0.5 \text{ m}$ to the left of the end of the
beam.
What is the internal shear force at point B? Assume the force acts as shown, and use the appropriate sign for your answer.
Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units.
$V_B =$
What is the internal bending moment at B? Assume the moment acts as shown, and use the appropriate sign for your answer.
Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units.
$M_B = $
