Hi there Just a quick question; when I'm calculating moments in a cantilever beam (in my case a quarter circular one), is there any reason (apart from my own ineptitude) why I shouldn't be able to make the cut and FBD starting from the fixed end? I get different answers when I make the cut...

Hi guys, I'm wondering how the wall of the cantilever beam (a beam fixed at one end at a wall) can exert a reaction moment? Is this done by the wall pushing back on the cantilever beam away from its centroidal axis? Also is the reaction moment always applied to the centroidal axis of the...
