The beam shown is pin supported at point A; roller supported at points B, D, and F
(note that roller supports resist movement both up and down); and has internal
hinges at points C and E. Neglecting the weight of the beam, for the point loads
applied at points C and G as shown:

1. Show that the beam is statically determinate and find the support reactions at
points A, B, D, and F.

Show that beam is statically determinate

To evaluate determinacy, we must cut beam at supports and all places where we know an
internal force (i.e. M = 0 at hinges at C and E.

𝑀[ = 𝑀C + 28.8 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡

M is linear in between C and D

Moment at point E

Area of shear diagram between D and E = (-2.4 k) (12 ft) = -28.8 k-ft
𝑀" − 𝑀[ = −28.8 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡
𝑀" = 𝑀[ − 28.8 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡

M is linear in between D and E and the bending moment should be zero at the internal

𝑀\ = 0 − 36 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡

M is linear in between E and F

Moment at point G

Area of shear diagram between F and G = (3k) (12 ft) = 36 k-ft

𝑀_ − 𝑀\ = 36 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡
𝑀_ = 𝑀\ + 36 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡
𝑀_ = −36 + 36 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡

M is linear in between F and G and the bending moment should be zero at the free end at
