Simply Supported Span - Triangular Load

A triangular load (with peak intensity of ω) applied to a section of a simply supported span is shown in Figure 1. Please enter the variables shown into the form below. Due to symmetry of the support conditions, the case for a decreasing triangular load can also be found using the tool below through mirroring all inputs and outputs about the vertical axis.

Inputs

Span, l
Peak load, ω			/
Start of load, a
Length of load, b
Point of Interest, x
Elastic Modulus, E
Second Moment of Area, I
Output units:
Span length output
Force output
Lever arm output
Deflection output
