Problem 4: (60 pts )
- Determine the axial, shear and moment functions for the frame shown below. Assume the frame is pin connected at \( A, C \), and \( D \) and there is a fixed joint at \( B \). Your coordinate system should follow the given critical fiber locations. (30 pts )
- Plot AFD, SFD, and BMD accordingly. (15 pts)
- Are the two moments at joint \( B \) equal? (3 pts)
- Are the two moments at joint \( C \) equal? (3 pts)
- Identify the value and location of the maximum moment on member \( C D \).(5 pts)
- Identify the location of point of inflection. (2 pts)
- Validate the structure is determinate first. (2 pts)
