Give the following problem a try. If you get

stuck, here is one way to work it: Essential

Solution Video.

Use the graphical method to construct the

shear$-$force and bending$-$moment diagrams for

the beam shown. Label all significant points on

each diagram and identify the maximum

moments along with their respective locations.

Additionally:

$($a$)$ Determine $V$ and $M$ in the beam at a point

located $1\mathrm{.}50$ m to the right of $B.$

$($b$)$ Determine $V$ and $M$ in the beam at a point

located $1\mathrm{.}25$ m to the left of $D.$

Let $a=3\mathrm{.}2m,b=6\mathrm{.}1m,w=37k\frac{N}{m},$

$P=53kN,Q=32kN,$ and $M_C=147$

$kN*m.$ Construct the shear$-$force and bending$-$

moment diagrams on paper and use the results

to answer the questions in the subsequent

parts of this GO exercise.
