Describe each of these distributed loads as rectangular tria

Describe each of these distributed loads as rectangular, triangular or trapezoidal and explain why.

Solution

A) Rectangular because load is uniform.

B) Rectangular because load is uniform.(but less intensity)

C)Triangular as it is varying linearly and it is the shape of rightangle trainlge.

D)Triangular as it is varying linearly and it is the shape of rightangle trainlge.(in opposite direction)

E) Trapezoidal as the intensity exists on both the sides and varying linerly. ( if intensity becomes zero on one side then it will become triangular load)

F) Trapezoidal as the intensity exists on both the sides and varying linerly. ( if intensity becomes zero on one side then it will become triangular load)
