Determine the internal normal force, shear force, and bending moment at point C\displaystyle C in the beam.

Let NC\displaystyle N_{C} be the internal normal force, VC\displaystyle V_{C} be the internal shear force, and MC\displaystyle M_{C} be the internal bending moment.

Since there are no horizontal forces at point C\displaystyle C, NC=0\displaystyle N_{C} = 0.

💪😕
 
Let us calculate the torques around point A\displaystyle A.

3FB200(1.5)(2.25)100(1.5)(0.75)=0\displaystyle 3F_B - 200(1.5)(2.25) - 100(1.5)(0.75) = 0

This gives:

FB=262.5 N\displaystyle F_B = 262.5 \ \text{N}

💪😈
 
Since I have found FB\displaystyle F_B and not FA\displaystyle F_A, I have to work on the right-half of the beam.

I will choose upward to be positive. The sum of the vertical forces on the right-half of the beam are:

FB200(1.5)VC=0\displaystyle F_B - 200(1.5) - V_C = 0

262.5300VC=0\displaystyle 262.5 - 300 - V_C = 0

VC=262.5300=37.5 N\displaystyle V_C = 262.5 - 300 = -37.5 \ \text{N} \rightarrow internal shear force
