Assume you have a simple beam 16ft long supported on
each end by R1 and R2. There is a concentrated load of
900lb that is 4ft from R2. Reaction R1 is pinned 12ft from
the load. Reaction R1 is 225lb and R2 is 675lb. What is
the maximum bending moment in pounds per foot? [ M=
Distance from load x Reaction @ support] - ANSWER-
225lb x 12ft = 2700
675lb x 4ft = 2700
