Question: If the end support in Problem settles 0.4 in, compute the reactions and bending and shearing stresses.
Problem: What are the bending and shearing stresses in a beam 9 ft long, fixed at one end and supported at the same level at the other? The rough-sawn cross section of the beam is 6 by 12 in. It carries a uniform load, including its own weight of 820 lb per linear foot. Sketch the shear and moment diagrams. E = 1 200 000 psi.
