Statics - Fundamental Problem 7.6

   
From Chapter 7, 

Assume A is pinned and B is a roller in (Figure 1). Take that w = 4.5 kN/m . Determine the normal force, shear force, and moment at point C. Follow the sign convention.

▼ Three Part Question:

Determine the normal force, shear force, and moment at point C. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Step 1 - always make your free body diagram! In the instructions given, point A is a pinned support and point B is a roller. The triangular and distributed load need to be expressed as a concetrated point load as well:

Make your free body diagram! In the instructions given, point A is a pinned support and point B is a roller. The triangular and distributed load need to be expressed as a concetrated point load as well.

Substituting 4.5 for w, We get that By =
