Distributed loading on a beam example #1: rectangular loads

Показать описание
This engineering statics tutorial goes over en example with a simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load applied to it. A rectangular shape with a constant density will have a uniformly distributed load across its length. The goal of this problem is to find the values of the reaction forces at the supports, using knowledge of centroids from the previous video.

How do you solve when A and B aren't on the ends of the beam? Thanks

when we change the distributed force to concentrated force how can we find the point of action of this force ?

what is the relation between centroid (center of area ) and distributed forces?
