Word Problems On Graphical Method and Analytical Method?

Answer 1

Here is a problem that you might like to solving graphically and analytically:

A 16ft beam is hinged at one end and simply support at the other end. The following concentrated loads are place on the beam:

a.100 lb downward load inclined at 45 degrees from the horizontal towards the simply supported end at 4 feet from that end

b. 150 lb vertical downward load located at 7 feet from the simply supported end

c. 50 lb downward load inclined 60 degrees with the horizontal towards the hinged end located 6 feet from that end

Determine the magnitude, direction and relative location of the resultant of the loads by graphical method and analytical method. Determine the reactions on the supports both graphically and analytically.
