Question: Problem # 2 : ( 3 0 points ) An overhanging beam ( A C B ) of length 3 . 7

Problem \#2: (30 points) An overhanging beam \( A C B \) of length 3.7 m is pinned at point \( A \), and supported by a roller at point \( C \), as shown in Figure 2. The beam is loaded by an 8 kN downward force at the free end \( B \) and by a uniform downward load of \(3\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}\) over the overhanging part of the beam between the roller at \( C \) and the free end at \( B \), as shown. In an \( x-y-z \) coordinate system (not shown in the figure) with origin at the centroid of the cross section, the positive \( x \)-direction measures horizontal distance to the right of point \( A \), and the positive \( y \)-direction measures vertical distances above the centroid of the cross section.
a) Find the reactions at pin \( A \) and roller \( C \). Is the problem statically determinate or indeterminate? Explain.
b) Find the equations for the shear force \( V=V(x)\) and the bending moment \( M=M(x)\) throughout the beam. For each cut required, draw a clear free body diagram.
c) Neatly sketch the shear force and bending moment diagrams, and provide the important values and locations of each. In particular, find the magnitude of the maximum shear force \( V_{\max }\) in the beam, and find the value of \( x \) at which it occurs. Find the magnitude of the maximum bending \( M_{\max }\) in the beam, and find the value of \( x \) at which it occurs.
