    The document discusses bending moments and neutral axes in beams under load. When a beam bends, the top is under compression and bottom is stretched. For equilibrium, the amount of tension must equal compression. Uniformly distributed loads and choosing a reference point are important for calculating bending moments as the moment is the force times the distance from the reference point. The forces and distances on each side of the reference point must balance out.

    Top under compression bottom being stretched when beam snaps

    Neutral axis 0-100 in tension and compression


    If equal Librium
    not achieved
    building in
    collapsed mode
    Uniformly distributed load
    50 and 50 – 8 and 32 – 80 percent to the right so 80 over 40 x 100 – take out 0’s = 32

    the bending moment is force times distance

    most important part is choosing a reference point

    some of the clockwise moments must match some of the anti-clockwise moments
    8 times r2

    100 times 4/ 20 times 10

    400/200 = 600

    8r2 equal to 600 – 8 times 6 – 75
