ST10: Shear and Moment Equations: 1

This is an interactive page for formulating the shear and moment equations for a determinate beam (shown below) that is supported by a pin and a roller support. The beam can carry up to two concentrated loads each having a magnitude of 48 kN.

You can change the position of the loads and the supports by dragging and dropping each element in the diagram below. The two applied forces can be moved off the beam, but the supports, although can be moved, have to remain under the beam to ensure its stability.

This problem originates from Video Lecture ST10.
