Question: Define the bending moments for the beam segments A B , B C and BD loaded as shown in the figure. The cable passes over

Define the bending moments for the beam segments AB,BC and BD loaded as shown in the
figure. The cable passes over a small frictionless pulley (which transfers only loads to the beam and no bending)
at C and supports a weight Fw(kN). Which cross-section should you use (1 or 2, see figure below) for
the span AB if you have a material weak in tension and why? (5%) What kind of internal forces do we have
in segment AB ? Is the curvature in AB and BC positive or negative? Note: give the answers in terms of
