Part 1: A simply supported beam is shown below. You are asked to develop (a) shear force diagrams and (b) bending moment diagrams for the beam shown below. Remember that all values must have units; if no units are present, no credit will be given. A 5 ft 1,000 lb 7 ft 7 ft 700 lb/ft B 1. Draw a free body diagram (FBD) of the beam. All support reactions, forces, and dimensions must be labeled. 2. Write the equations of equilibrium for the free body diagram. All values and unknowns listed in your equations of equilibrium should be clearly visible on your FBD. If they are not, no credit will be given. 3. Solve for all support reactions. 4. Find the internal reactions as functions of "x" between 12 ft and 19ft. In other words, please write the equations for V(x), M(x). 5. Plot the shear force and bending moment diagrams along beam. Plots should be on graph paper or engineering paper, and to scale with labeled axes.
