Reactions by the moment-area method
Problem statement
For the beam shown in the figure, determine the reactions in terms of ω and L (moment-area method).
Figure data: fixed support at A and two simple supports; spans of L, L, 2L and 2L; distributed load labeled 1.5ωL between A and the first support and 2ω between that support and the end; point loads of 2ωL and 5ωL and a 1.5ωL² moment.
Concepts: fixed beam, reactions in terms of w and L, Mohr's theorems, moment-area method
