Question: ( a ) Support reaction, R A y ( b ) Support reaction, R E y ( c ) Shear force, V B , l

(a) Support reaction, RAy
(b) Support reaction, REy
(c) Shear force, VB,left
(d) Shear force, VB,right
(e) Shear force, VD,left
(f) Bending moment, M at x=40ft
(g) Bending moment, MB
(h) Bending moment, M at x=120ft
Problem 2
For the beam introduced in Problem 1, show how the beam must be loaded (= loading pattern) to maximize the response quantities (a) through (h).
Assume a point load, PL=10kip for (a),(c),(e),(g) and a distributed uniform load, wL=1.2kipft for (b),(d),(f),(h).
Finally, calculate the value for each of the response quantities under the assumed loads and loading patterns.
( a ) Support reaction, R A y ( b ) Support
