Statics: Shear and Bending Moment Diagrams Part 1 (indefinite integral method)

In this video, we learn of a quicker way of producing the Shear and Bending Moment Equations/Diagrams by making use of special relationships between these quantities. These relationships are: The Shear is the integral of the distributed loading equation The Moment is the integral of the Shear equation I introduce this in a different way than most books/professors. They like taking the area under the curves (i.e. the definite integral), while I use the indefinite integral. I find that this is a much more straightforward way (albeit a bit more slower) of doing these Shear/Bending Moment problems. In the next video, we do this same problem, but using the area under the curve (definite integral) method to more quickly do the problem. Be warned, that technique is more complicated.
