Homework Statement
Find the shear force and moment at C.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Skipping some initial steps, I found the reactions to be Ax=0 and Ay=9
These are known to be correct.
Now, slicing the beam from a to c.
I get Ay=9.
Now I take 3(1/2)6= 9 from the W equation and I know that this acts at 4ft from A.
So then the sum of the forces in the Y direction.
V+9-9=0 therefore V=0. This is incorrect. V=3 by the solutions manual but I have no idea how they got that.
