Problem 630
For the beam loaded as shown in Fig. P-630, compute the value of (AreaAB)barred(X)A .
From the result determine whether the tangent drawn to the elastic curve at B slopes up or
down to the right. (Hint: Refer to the deviation equations and rules of sign.)

Solution 630

MR2=0

R1=50N
MR1=0
4R2=200(6)+12(3)(400)(3)
R2=750N
(AreaAB)XA=12(4)(200)(83)14(3)(600)(175)
(AreaAB)XA=463.33Nm3
answer
The value of (AreaAB) barred(X)A is negative;
therefore point A is below the tangent through B,
thus the tangent through B slopes downward to
the right. See the approximate elastic curve shown
to the right and refer to the rules of sign for more
information.

Problem 631
Determine the value of the couple M for the beam loaded as shown in Fig. P-631 so that the
moment of area about A of the M diagram between A and B will be zero. What is the
physical significance of this result?

Solution 631

MA=0
4R2+M=100(4)(2)
R2=20014M
MB=0
4R1=100(4)(2)+M
R1=200+14M
(AreaAB)XA=0
12(4)(800M)(43)13(4)(800)(1)=0
83(800M)=32003
M=400lbft
answer
The uniform load over span AB will cause segment AB
to deflect downward. The moment load equal to 400 lbft
applied at the free end will cause the slope through B to
be horizontal making the deviation of A from the tangent
through B equal to zero. The downward deflection therefore due to uniform load will be
countered by the moment load.

Problem 632
For the beam loaded as shown in Fig. P-632, compute the value of (AreaAB) barred(X)A.
From this result, is the tangent drawn to the elastic curve at B directed up or down to the
right? (Hint: Refer to the deviation equations and rules of sign.)

Solution 632

MB=0
3R1+200(1)=800(2)(2)
R1=1000N
MA=0
3R2=200(4)+800(2)(1)
R1=800N

(AreaAB)XA=12(2)(2000)(43)+12(1)(800)(73)13(2)(1600)(32)12(1)(400)(73)12(1)(200)(83)
(AreaAB)XA=1266.67Nm3
answer
The value of (AreaAB) barred(X)A is positive, therefore point A is above the tangent through B,
thus the tangent through B is upward to the right. See the approximate elastic curve shown
above and refer to the rules of sign for more information.
