    Does Adding Multiple Point Loads on a Continuous Beam Reduce the Maximum Moment?

    Is the moment in a continuous beam maximum when there is one point load because if you had multiple point loads they would cancel each other out since there are several pin connections along the beam? For example, if I had a 20 kip load moving across a continuous beam and found the maximum...

    When Should You Use the Law of Cosines in Electrodynamics?

    In Griffith's Introduction to electrodynamics, he uses a cursive r as the distance between a charge and a test point. most of the time to find this distance we subtract the two position vectors and find the magnitude, but occasionally we use the law of cosines. Now yes I know we use the law of...
