FE Exam Mechanics Of Materials - Internal Force At Point A

In this video, I calculate the internal force at point A. The next video, I will calculate the internal torque. I also got similar questions on my FE exam, so make sure you understand the problem well.

This problem is important if you are taking the FE civil, mechanical, other disciplines or if you are just taking mechanics of materials class.

Don't forget a problem a day, keeps the "F" away!

If multiplying the distributed load by the vertical length, the load is in the horizontal direction. However, in reality, the dimension you multiply does not determine the vertical load. The vertical loads (normal) and horizontal loads (shear) are independent of the dimensions you multiply. To include the weight, you need to multiply the lb/ft (distributed load) with the horizontal dimensions, not the vertical dimensions. I would say the question is not clear about where the distributed load has been applied.

Hello kenza i wanna learn that why we are taking Wcd = 260 lb/ft? Can we take half of weight which is 130?
