Examples 1 and 2, where Examples 1 and 2, where
F = 150 lb F = 700 N
L = 8ft L = 2.5 m
a = 3 ft, b = 5ft a = 1m, b = 1.5 m
solution solution
Step 1. Calculate the maximum shear force Step 1. Calculate the maximum shear force
(V max ) from Eq. (2.63) as (V max ) from Eq. (2.63) as
V max = F = 150 lb V max = F = 700 N
Step 2. As shown in Fig. 2.94 this maximum Step 2. As shown in Fig. 2.94, this maximum
shear force (V max ) of 150 lb occurs in the region shear force (V max ) of 150 lb occurs in the region
to the right of the force (F). to the right of the force (F).
Step 3. Calculate the maximum bending Step 3. Calculate the maximum bending
moment (M max ) from Eq. (2.65) as moment (M max ) from Eq. (2.65) as
M max = Fb = (150 lb)(5ft) M max = Fb = (700 N)(1.5m)
= 750 ft · lb = 1,050 N · m
Step 4. As shown in Fig. 2.95 this maximum Step 4. As shown in Fig. 2.95, this maximum
bending moment (M max ) of 750 ft · lb is located bending moment (M max ) of 1,050 N · mis
at the right end of the beam, that is at the wall located at the right end of the beam, meaning

Deflection. For this loading configuration, the deflection ( ) along the beam is shown in
Fig. 2.96, and given by Eq. (2.66a) for the values of the distance (x) from the left end of
the beam to the location of the force (F), at distance (a), and by Eq. (2.66b) for the values
of distance (x) from the force (F) to the right end of the beam.
