Step-by-step solution
5 stepsCalculate Reactions at the Fixed Support
Let the fixed end be point A (left side) and the free end be point B (right side).
The total length of the beam is .
The uniformly distributed load (UDL) is .
The point load at the free end is .The vertical reaction force at the fixed end is the sum of all downward loads:
The reaction moment at the fixed end is the sum of moments due to all loads about point A:
Shear Force Calculations
Consider a section at a distance from the fixed end (left side). Using the standard sign convention (upward forces positive for shear force when looking at the left part of the section):
At the fixed end ():
At the free end ():
Bending Moment Calculations
Consider a section at a distance from the fixed end (left side). Using the standard sign convention (hogging moments are negative):
At the fixed end ():
At the free end ():
Shear Force Diagram (SFD)
The shear force diagram starts at a positive value of at the fixed end (). It decreases linearly along the beam due to the uniformly distributed load. At the free end (), the shear force is . The entire diagram is above the zero line, indicating positive shear force throughout the beam.
The equation for the SFD is .Bending Moment Diagram (BMD)
The bending moment diagram starts at a negative value of at the fixed end (), which is the maximum (in magnitude) bending moment. It then increases parabolically (becomes less negative) along the beam. At the free end (), the bending moment is . The entire diagram is below the zero line, indicating negative bending moment (hogging) throughout the beam.
The equation for the BMD is .
