Identify the moment equation that corresponds to MAB. Let w = 2.0 kip/ft, L1 = 18 ft, and L2 = 19 ft. Assume EI = constant.

Assume that P = 7.0 kips and L = 4.0 ft. Determine the reaction at support A. Assume that EI is constant for the beam.

Assume that P = 16.2 kips and L = 5.5 ft. Determine the reaction at support A. Assume that EI is constant for the beam.

Determine the deflection at B that would be caused by the distributed load if the middle support was not there. Let w = 7 lb/in., a = 61 in., and EI = 101 × 106 lb·in.2.

Determine the deflection at B that would be caused by the distributed load if the middle support was not there. Let w = 6 lb/in., a = 60 in., and EI = 45 × 106 lb·in.2.

Determine the deflection at B that would be caused by the concentrated moment if the middle support was not there. Let M = 14,500 lb·in., a = 73.90 in., b = 54.10 in., and EI = 119 × 106 lb·in.2. Note that b = (a + b)[1 – sqrt(3)/3].

Determine the slope at A that would be caused by the distributed load if the fixed support was a pin support, instead. Let w = 7 lb/in., a = 96 in., and EI = 239 × 106 lb·in.2.

Identify the moment equation that corresponds to MCB. Let w = 3.7 kip/ft, L1 = 18 ft, and L2 = 16 ft. Assume EI = constant.

The beam supports a single live load of 1,620 lb. Determine the maximum negative shear that can be developed at point B. Assume the support at A is a pin and C is a roller. The influence lines for VB and MB are shown, along with the peak values of the influence lines.

Determine the slope at A that would be caused by the concentrated force if the fixed support was a pin support, instead. Let P = 234 lb, a = 65 in., and EI = 126 × 106 lb·in.2.
