Problem 7.15 - Shear Force & Bending Moment Equations

Problem Statement

Plot the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the loading shown. Assume M = 10 kip-ft, L₁ = 3 ft, and L₂ = 4 ft. What is the maximum absolute shear force and maximum absolute bending moment?

Figure 1: A beam is subjected to a distributed load and a force is applied. {fig-alt=” A beam is subjected to a clockwise moment at the left end A with supports at B and C. The distance between A and B is L1 and the distance between B and C is L2.”}
