The document discusses bending moments and neutral axes in beams under load. When a beam bends, the top is under compression and bottom is stretched. For equilibrium, the amount of tension must equal compression. Uniformly distributed loads and choosing a reference point are important for calculating bending moments as the moment is the force times the distance from the reference point. The forces and distances on each side of the reference point must balance out.

Neutral axis 0-100 in tension and compression
If equal Librium not achieved building in collapsed mode Uniformly distributed load 50 and 50 – 8 and 32 – 80 percent to the right so 80 over 40 x 100 – take out 0’s = 32

the bending moment is force times distance
most important part is choosing a reference point
some of the clockwise moments must match some of the anti-clockwise moments 8 times r2
