A 172-lb person stands on an oak beam. Determine the vertical reaction force at the right end of the beam. Let a = 63 in. and b = 37 in.

Use the graphical method to construct the shear-force diagram and identify the magnitude of the largest shear force (consider both positive and negative peaks). Use a = 21 ft, b = 7 ft, and w = 6 kips/ft. The reaction forces for this beam are Ay = 56.00 kips and By = 112.00 kips.

Three loads are applied to a truss. Assume a = 4 m and b = 3 m. If P = 34 kN and Q = 55 kN, determine the magnitude of the force in member EF.

Three loads are applied to a truss. Assume a = 4 m and b = 3 m. If P = 28 kN and Q = 70 kN, determine the magnitude of the force in member BC.

Determine the magnitude of the vertical force Ay for the simply supported beam, where P = 18 kN and w = 9 kN/m.

Determine the magnitude of the bending moment M in the beam at a point located 2.00 m to the right of point B. The ground reactions are provided.Ay = 65.60 kNCy = 58.40 kN

Determine the magnitude of the shear force V in the beam at a point located 1.55 m to the right of point B. The ground reactions are provided.Ay = 65.60 kNCy = 58.40 kN

Three loads are applied to a truss. Assume a = 5 m and b = 4 m. If P = 20 kN and Q = 70 kN, determine the magnitude of the force in member BC.
