Equal Reactions Beam Problem | Shear Force & Bending Moment Diagrams ...

In this video, we solve a challenging structural analysis problem involving a simply supported beam with a UDL, point moment, and an unknown point load. You will learn how to: Calculate the magnitude of an unknown load 𝑃 P such that reactions at supports A and B are equal. Accurately take moments and apply equilibrium equations. Draw the Shear Force (SF) and Bending Moment (BM) diagrams step by step. Locate the point of contra-flexure, if any, with full explanation. Master sign conventions and avoid common mistakes in moment calculations. This is a must-watch for civil engineering students, mechanical engineering students, and anyone preparing for competitive exams like GATE, FE, PE, or university-level strength of materials tests.
