Lecture

Distributed forces: integrals and resultant forces

Description

This lecture covers the calculation of beams with distributed loads, focusing on writing integrals for distributed forces and determining the resultant forces. It explains the importance of not cutting beams after replacing distributed forces with resultants, and provides examples of calculating reactions to supports and center of force. The lecture also discusses the process of finding shear forces and bending moments through cuts, emphasizing the continuity and discontinuity of these forces along the beam.
