PROBLEM $7\mathrm{.}37$

For the beam and loading shown, $($a$)$ draw the shear and bending$-$

moment diagrams, $($b$)$ determine the maximum absolute values of the

shear and bending moment.

a$)$ Compute reactions. Sketch the Deforme State of the beam. Show the approximate

location of the Inflection Point $($IP$)$ to the left of E$.$

b$)$ Show FBDs of AE and EB$,$ with DSs; and corresponding V and M

diagrams with key values and slopes. For member AE show the exact

location of the IP $($Moment$=0).$

c$)$ Show FBDs of joints A and E$.$

d$)$ Sketch V and M diagrams for the entire beam AB$,$ with key values and

slopes; and show exact location of the IP$.$ Find maximum values.
