For the structural member of Prob. 7.53, determine (a) the angle θ for which the maximum absolute value of the bending moment in beam AB is as small as possible, (b) the corresponding value of |M|max. (Hint: Draw the bending-moment diagram and then equate the absolute values of the largest positive and negative bending moments obtained.)
PROBLEM 7.53 Two small channel sections DF and EH have been welded to the uniform beam AB of weight W = 3 kN to form the rigid structural member shown. This member is being lifted by two cables attached at D and E. Knowing that θ = 30° and neglecting the weight of the channel sections, (a) draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for beam AB, (b) determine the maximum absolute values of the shear and bending moment in the beam.
