The cg of the distributed load is located 2x/3 from the 15N load. But since you are summing moments about the right end, the distance from the cg to the right end is how much?foo9008 said:Homework Statement
why the center of moment due to distributed load 1.11x is located x /3 from the 15kN , shouldn't it be located 2x / 3 from the 15kN end ?

The location of the moment of a distributed load refers to the point along the beam or structure where the load is being applied. This point is typically measured from one end of the beam, and can also be referred to as the point of application.
The location of the moment of distributed load is determined by calculating the area under the load curve and dividing it by the total load. This will give you the distance from one end of the beam to the point of application.
Yes, the location of the moment of distributed load can change if the distribution or magnitude of the load changes. It can also change if the beam or structure is altered or if additional loads are added.
Knowing the location of the moment of distributed load is important for designing and analyzing structures. It helps determine the internal forces and stresses within the structure, and can also impact the overall stability and safety of the structure.
The location of the moment of distributed load can be affected by the shape, magnitude, and distribution of the load, as well as the properties of the beam or structure, such as its length and material. Any changes to these factors can also impact the location of the moment of distributed load.
