To Assuage everyone's fears, this is for a personal installation to be used by me on my property. Most of the dimensions I've taken directly off of a commercially available jib.
But it left me thinking about a moment load on the end of a sported cantilevered beam (Say the Post of a jib crane)...
Thank you for the responses,
I guess to further simplify it, if i have a solidly supported cantilevered beam with only a bending moment acting on it what determines the maximum stress?
The beam has a length (l) but should theoretically have a constant moment across the length. How do you...
The situation is a little harder to explain and not as quite as critical as the example I'm providing.
For Example: if I'm interested in designing a free standing Jib Crane.
How do I go about sizing the column? Resolving the moment from the load and Beam is easy enough, but I'm having some...
