SFD and BMD example 3

The video tutorial demonstrates how to draw shear force and bending moment diagrams for a simply supported beam with a linearly increasing distributed load. It covers the process of drawing a free body diagram, calculating support reactions, deriving equations for shear force and bending moment using integration, and plotting the respective diagrams. The tutorial emphasizes using shortcut formulas for efficiency and provides a step-by-step approach to solving the problem.

What is the calculated net force due to the distributed load?

Explain the significance of the centroid of a triangle in the context of this problem.

What is the relationship between the sum of forces in the X direction and the reaction forces?

Describe the process of finding the shear force at a point along the beam.

What does the bending moment diagram represent in this context?
