Question

is it possible that the book has a mistake in the shear diagram? cuz it takes x to be 0=<x<9 I calculate the shear at exactly 9 and it is zero, I have a confusion why did it take only x before 9 then it included the reaction at B

The shear and moment di. shown in Fig. 7-12c are obtained by plotting Eqs. 1 and 2. The point of zero shear can be found using Eq. 1: 18 kN - x (m) –5.20 m V = 9 - M (kN·m) M = 9x - * = 5.20 m Mmax = 31.2 NOTE: It will be shown in Sec. 7.3 that this value of x ha represent the point on the beam where the maximum mome Using Eq. 2, we have 5.20 9x (m) (e) Mmax = (905.20) - (5.20).

Explanation / Answer

Text book solution is correct only. We can not define a function exactly at support or exactly at point load is acting. We will define it as just right it and just left to it. Exactly at the right support function becomes invalid. Shear force at support means shear force just left to it or just right to it but not exactly at the support.
