5_114 Shear and Moment Diagrams for Cantilever Beam with Triangular Load | Meriam & Kraige

In this video, we provide a step-by-step solution for Problem 5/114 from Engineering Mechanics: Statics (9th Edition) by J.L. Meriam, L.G. Kraige, and J.N. Bolton.We will walk through how to draw the shear force diagram (SFD) and bending moment diagram (BMD) for a linearly loaded cantilever beam (triangular load) of length $l$ with a peak load of $w_0$. We will also explicitly specify and calculate the total bending moment $M_A$ acting at the fixed support A.
