Equivalent Point Loads

Calculate the equivalent point load for a triangular distributed load, where the intensity starts at zero and increases to a maximum value over a specified base length.

✓ All 2 test cases pass.

Inputs

Base Length

The length of the base of the triangular load.

Maximum Intensity

The maximum intensity of the triangular load at the end of the base.
