Relationship Between Shear Force Bending Moment Intensity of Loading W

This document discusses the relationship between shear force (Q), bending moment (M), and the intensity of loading (w) on a beam. It shows that for a uniformly distributed load: 1) The bending moment (M) at any point is given by the equation M = wLx - wx^2/2. 2) The shear force (Q) at any point is given by the equation Q = wL - wx. 3) The slope of the bending moment diagram (dM/dx) equals the shear force (Q). Therefore, the bending moment reaches its maximum or minimum when the shear force is zero.

Since the last answer can be ignored (being outside the beam), the point of contraflexure must be situated at 1.96m to the right of C .

3.6. Relationship between shear force Q, bending moment M and intensity of loading w
Consider the beam AB shown in Fig. 3.10 carrying a uniform loading intensity (uniformly distributed load) of w kN/m. By symmetry, each reaction takes half the total load, i.e., wL/2.

These relationships are the basis of the rules stated in the summary, the proofs of which are as follows: (a) The maximum or minimum B.M. occurs where d M / d x = 0 dM ----=Q But dx Thus where S.F. is zero B.M. is a maximum or minimum. (b) The slope of the B.M. diagram = d M / d x = Q. Thus where Q = 0 the slope of the B.M. diagram is zero, and the B.M. is therefore constant. (c) Also, since Q represents the slope of the B.M. diagram, it follows that where the S.F. is positive the slope of the B.M. diagram is positive, and where the S.F. is negative the slope of the B.M. diagram is also negative. (d) The area of the S.F. diagram between any two points, from basic calculus, is
