Confirmation for my calculations

In summary, the person is seeking help with a question from a book that does not have a given answer. They have found the reaction for the first part of the question and have drawn a shear force diagram, but their bending moment graph does not come to zero. They are also puzzled about the relevance of the steel density given and the number of reaction components at the encastre support. They are advised to check their reactions by taking moments and provide their moment diagram for further assistance. They also mention that the question may not match the figure and clarify that they are doing this for revision purposes, not for a school assignment.

Hi guys I am doing this question out of a book, the answer is not given so I am trying to find out if my answer is correct or not. Please find the attached image which shows the question.

1) For the reaction in Question (a) I found the reaction (Ry) to be 220 kN. Rx = 0 because there is no horizontal force.
2) the shear force diagram I drew looks like the graph in the second image but my bending moment graph does not come to zero ?

Please can anyone help me with this problem ?

ah whoever gave me a warning saying misplaced school-type question could've asked me first. I am doing this for my revision its out of a book I picked up from the library. Seriously next time ask first.

What is the relevance of the steel density given? The question doesn't seem to match the figure. Can you ellaborate? How many reaction components are there at the encastre support, including ones of zero value? You can check your reactions by making sure that taking moments about the right hand end should be zero. Give us your moment diagram please.
 

FAQ: Confirmation for my calculations

What is confirmation for my calculations?

Confirmation for your calculations is the process of verifying the accuracy and validity of your mathematical calculations through various methods, such as peer review, experimental data, or mathematical proofs.

Why is confirmation for my calculations important?

Confirmation for your calculations is important because it ensures the reliability and credibility of your scientific research. It allows for other scientists to replicate your results and build upon your findings, leading to further advancements in the field.

What are some methods of confirmation for my calculations?

There are several methods of confirmation for your calculations, including peer review, experimental data analysis, statistical analysis, and mathematical proofs. Each method serves to validate and verify the accuracy of your calculations in different ways.

How can I ensure the accuracy of my calculations?

To ensure the accuracy of your calculations, it is important to double-check your work and use multiple methods of confirmation, such as independent peer review and cross-validation with experimental data. Additionally, using reliable and precise measurement tools can also help to minimize errors in your calculations.

What should I do if my calculations do not match with my expected results?

If your calculations do not match with your expected results, it is important to re-evaluate your methods and check for any possible errors or sources of inaccuracy. You can also seek feedback from other experts in the field to help identify any potential issues with your calculations.
