Question
Here is the cantilever beam above with the given load and flexural rigidity, EI:
You should use the differential equation of bending to:
1. Determine the reactions at 'A'.
2. Determine the deflection and rotation at 'B' (midspan).
3. Determine the deflection and rotation at 'C'.
4. Calculate equations for the shear distribution, moment distribution, beam rotation and beam deflection as a function of x. Plot each equation, indicating one critical value on each.
Using the moment-area method and the moment distribution calculated in part D above:
a. Determine the deflection and rotation at 'C'
(the solutions should be in terms of the variables alpha, L, and EI. )
Explanation / Answer
Reaction rate is the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.
This means that you need to find the rate by formula:
[A] at time t2- [A] at t1 / t2- t1
where [A] is concentration of the product or reactant.
Note that rates are not constant an this formula gives you average rate if you use final time and concentration with initial time and concentration.
You also need your balanced chemical equation to help determine the relationship between reactants and products.
