Question

A uniform beam of arbitrary, unsymmetrical cross-section and length 2???? is built-in at one end and simply supported in the vertical direction at a point halfway along its length. This support, however, allows the beam to deflect freely in the horizontal x direction. For a vertical load W applied at the free end of the beam, calculate bending moments for the sections at A and B.

Answer 1

the bending moment will be W from either sides

Step-by-step explanation:

bending moment= force (load) * perpendicular distance, if I understand the question the distance will be 1/2 of the length

=> f x 1/2(l) =W*1/2(2) =W
