assume you have a simple beam 16 ft long supported on each end by r1 and r2. there is a concentrated load of 900 lb that is 4 ft from r2. reaction r1 is pinned 12 ft from the load. reaction r1 is 225 lb and r2 is 675 lb. what is the maximum bending moment in pounds per foot?

The maximum bending moment that the load has in pounds would be 2700lb.What is the maximum bending moment?When the shear force at that portion is zero or changes sign due to the point of contra flexure, when the bending moment is zero, the maximum bending moment occurs in the beam. Reason: Because it results in convexity downhill, the positive bending moment in a section is taken into account.The shear force would then have to change the sign when it is at the load position.Such that we would have R₁ * 12where R₁ = 225225 x 12 = 2700We can cross check the solution by solving for the right side= R₂ x 12= 675 lb x 12= 2700 lbHence we would say that the maximum bending moment in pounds is 2700.Read more on bending moment here: https://brainly.com/question/13798847#SPJ1
