Question #$2(17$ Marks$)$

A beam with a uniform load of magnitude $wk\frac{N}{m}$ at the left side is shown in Figure Q$2.$

a$)$ Discuss the type of beam and loading.

$[2$ Marks$]$

b$)$ Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram for the beam. Note: Values of $w$ can be assumed.

$[4$ Marks$]$

c$)$ By replacing the uniformly distributed load to a concentrated load at a$/2,$ draw the shear and bending moment diagrams after conducting the experiment.

$[4$ Marks$]$

d$)$ For two points loads acting at $\frac{a}{2}$ and $\frac{b}{2},$ draw the bending moment diagrams after conducting the experiment.

$[4$ Marks$]$

e$)$ Discuss the resuts between Q$2$c and Q$2$d$.$
