COPLANAR LOADINGS
General Procedure:
© Support Reactions:
= Determine the reactions acting on the chosen
segment
© Free-Body Diagram:
= Draw a free-body diagram of one of the “cut”
segments. N,V, M &T.
= These resultants are normally placed at the point
representing the geometric center or centroid of
the sectioned area.
= Coplanar system of forces, only N, V & M act at
the centroid.Equilibrium:
— If the solution of the equilibrium equations yields a
negative value for a resultant, the directional sense
of the resultant is opposite to that shown on the
free-body diagram.
