Question: A horizontal beam ' A ' B has a length of 6 meters. The left end ' A ' is supported by a pin on

A horizontal beam 'A' B has a length of 6 meters. The left end 'A' is supported by a pin on a horizontal surface, and the right end B is supported by a roller on the horizontal surface. A clockwise torque of 30 kilonewton meters is applied to end B of the beam. Distance x is measured horizontally rightward from pin 'A'.
Part A
Express the shear function in terms of x.
Express your answer in kilonewtons in terms of x.
Part B
Express the moment function in terms of x.
Express your answer in kilonewtons in terms of x.
Part C
Draw the shear diagram for the beam.
Click on "add vertical line off" to add discontinuity lines. Then click on "add segment" button to add functions between the lines.
Note - Make sure you place only one vertical line at places that require a vertical line. If you inadvertently place two vertical lines at the same place, it will appear correct visually because the lines overlap, but the system will...
Part D
Draw the moment diagram for the beam.
Click on "add vertical line off" to add discontinuity lines. Then click on "add segment" button to add functions between the lines.
Note 1- Make sure you place only one vertical line at places that require a vertical line. If you inadvertently place two vertical lines at the same place, it will appear correct visually because the lines overlap, but the system will mark it wrong.
Note 2-Be sure to indicate the correct types of the functions between the lines, e.g. in your answer the type of a function is "linear increasing slope" for the function that actually has linear decreasing slope, the answer will be graded as incorrect. Use the button "change segment" if necessary.
