thanks for amezing explanation.clear

[@Engineer4Free]

You're welcome, thanks for watching =)

[@14henrylover]

really helpful thank you sir

[@Engineer4Free]

Thanks for the feedback! f you haven't already, make sure you check out engineer4free.com/statics for the rest of the tutorials!

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

[@Engineer4Free]

Then you would have some kind of overhanging beam. Here are some examples with overhanging beams: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHmxl2CrrLxqrck - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5jNfoWop7Kkn6c

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

[@Engineer4Free]

Centroid of the shape of a distributed load represents the x location of the equivalent point load. It's needed for the sum of moments about a point calculation. Please watch videos 58-65 here: engineer4free.com/statics it will explain the method and go over enough examples to be confident in what's going on.

@@Engineer4Free you are the best thank you ♥

[@أفكاربسيطة-ج8ل]

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

you saved my ass

For pin support where is the Ax

[@Engineer4Free]

Ax = 0 because there are no horizontally applied loads. It's pretty okay to not bother writing that, but if you are on a test I would still explicitly write Ax = 0 just to communicate without doubt that you know what is going on.
