For the beam shown in Figure $2$:

a$)$ Draw a sketch of the beam and show the reaction components at the supports

b$)$ Solve for the reaction components using the appropriate equilibrium equations

c$)$ Draw FBDs for each section of the beam where a cut is required and establish the necessary equations for internal forces and moments

d$)$ Sketch the Axial Force Diagram $($AFD$)$ with main values

e$)$ Sketch the Shear Force Diagram $($SFD$)$ with main values

f$)$ Sketch the Bending Moment Diagram $($BMD$)$ with main values. Find the values and locations of the maximum and minimum moments in the beam.
