Question: Consider the beam shown in ( Figure 1 ) . Follow the sign convention. Figure 1 of 1 Draw the moment diagram for the beam.

Consider the beam shown in (Figure 1). Follow the sign convention.
Figure
1 of 1
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- Draw a vertical line to denote local maximum or minimum
Note 3- The curve you choose from the drop-down is only a pictorial representation of a real quadratic/cubic curve. The equation of this curve is not mathematically equivalent to the correct answer. Consequently, slopes at discontinuities and intercepts with the x -axis (if any) are not accurate.

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- You should not draw an "extra" vertical line at the point where the shear curve passes the x -axis.
Note 3- The curve you choose from the drop-down is only a pictorial representation of a real quadratic/cubic curve. The equation of this curve is not mathematically equivalent to the correct answer. Consequently, slopes at discontinuities and intercepts with the x -axis (if any) are not accurate.
