A distributed load acting on a beam can
replace by a concentrated load, the magnitude of
this load is equal to the area under the load curve and its line
the action passes through the centroid of that area.

Determine the resultant force using integration techniques.
For the loading of the shown figure, it is requested to determine:
a) the distributed load wTheat the D end of the beam, for which the reaction
in B is zero.
b) The corresponding reaction in C.
DISTRIBUTED FORCES IN THE
SPACE
To determine the force generated by a pressure (variable forces) in
any surface of a plane, the method shown is generalized in
distributed forces in the plane. For example, consider the flat plate of
the figure (a), which is subjected to the load defined by P = P(x, y) Pa,
where 1 Pa (pascal) = 1 2 Once this function is known, we can
determine the resultant force FR that acts on the plate and its location
as shown in figure (b).
FORCES DISTRIBUTED IN THE
ESPACIO
Magnitude of the resultant force. The force
dF acting on the differential area dA
square meters of the plate, located at the point
arbitrary (x, y), has a magnitude of
dF = [P(x, y) 2 (dA m2) = [P(x, y)dA] N.
Note that P(x, y) dA = dV, the element
of differential volume in blue that is
shown in figure (a). The magnitude of FR
it is the sum of the differential forces that
act on the entire surface area A of
the plate. So:
the magnitude of the resultant force is equal to the total volume under the diagram of
distributed load.
Location of the resultant force. The location ( , ) from FR to
determines when establishing the moments of equals to the
moments of all the differential forces dF with respect to the
respective axes: this results in:
The action line of the resultant force passes through the geometric center or
centroid of the volume under the distributed load diagram.
For the pressure whose function is shown in the figure, determine
the resultant force exerted and the center of pressure.
