Problem 7
0.1 Calculate The Reactions
X
MC = 0;

2.4k(100 ) + 0.72 ftk (100 )(150 ) + 0.48 ftk (100 )(50 ) = By (100 )

By = 15.6k
X
Fy = 0;

2.4k + 0.72 ftk (100 ) + 0.48 ftk (100 ) = By + Cy

Cy = −1.2k

0.2 Create And Integrate The Moment Equation

The moment equation for the whole beam can be determined either by making a section to the
right most part (just before point C) or the leftmost part (just before the free end). Extending the
0.72 kip load is required if we create a section just before point C thus it is simpler to determine
the moment equation by making a section just before the free end.

Integrate once to get the equation for the slope at a point then integrate again to get the equation
for the displacement at a point.
