Question: Consider the simple span prismatic beam shown below, pin supported at the left end and roller supported at the right end with a four foot

Consider the simple span prismatic beam shown below, pin supported at the left end and roller
supported at the right end with a four foot cantilever, supporting a concentrated load of 2.5 kips
(recall 1kip=1000 pounds), a partial uniform load of 5kips per foot, and a concentrated
moment of 20 kip-feet applied at the right end of the beam as shown in the sketch below.
a) Sketch the shear diagram for the beam, indicating maximum and minimum values at
critical points along the length of the beam.
(10 points)
b) Sketch the moment diagram for the beam, indicating maximum and minimum values at
critical points along the length of the beam.
(10 points)
Consider the simple span prismatic beam shown
