Isolated Vertical Load given Moment Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Vertical Load on Member = Bending Moment/(0.25*exp(-Distance from Load/Characteristic Length)*(sin(Distance from Load/Characteristic Length)-cos(Distance from Load/Characteristic Length)))
L_Vertical = M/(0.25*exp(-x/l)*(sin(x/l)-cos(x/l)))
This formula uses 3 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
exp - n an exponential function, the value of the function changes by a constant factor for every unit change in the independent variable., exp(Number)

Variables Used

Vertical Load on Member - (Measured in Kilonewton) - Vertical Load on Member here specifies the vertical load acting on the member.
Bending Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - The Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.
Distance from Load - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Load here refers to the distance from the vertical load to the point considered.
Characteristic Length - (Measured in Meter) - Characteristic length specifies the length of the rail which is defined as ratio of stiffness and track modulus.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bending Moment: 1.38 Newton Meter --> 1.38 Newton Meter No Conversion Required
Distance from Load: 2.2 Meter --> 2.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Characteristic Length: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_Vertical = M/(0.25*exp(-x/l)*(sin(x/l)-cos(x/l))) --> 1.38/(0.25*exp(-2.2/2.1)*(sin(2.2/2.1)-cos(2.2/2.1)))

Evaluating ... ...

L_Vertical = 42.926000957455

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

42926.000957455 Newton -->42.926000957455 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

42.926000957455 ≈ 42.926 Kilonewton <-- Vertical Load on Member
