    Is the force in a tilted beam affected by the angle of tilt?

    I understand that there will be a moment applied to this beam due to the weight hanging off the end. It seems counterintuitive that the compression in the beam increases as the angle decreases. I know what the math shows; it just doesn't seem correct that at a 90 degree angle the...

    Is the force in a tilted beam affected by the angle of tilt?

    If I have a beam tilted at an angle with a weight hagning off of one end and it is fixed on the other (see attachment), my teacher says that I need to resolve the force to find the force in the beam. However, it does not make sense to me that the force in the beam increases as the angle...
