Question: This is a conceptual design for a small gallery with a 2 0 ' x 3 0 ' enclosed space that houses a suspended artwork

This is a conceptual design for a small gallery with a 20'x30' enclosed space that houses a suspended artwork that weighs 6000lbs and an exterior uncovered trellis with another 6000lb art piece suspended from the end of the beams. A 12"6" glulam beam every 6ft to support the roof (total dead and live 40lbft2) is proposed.
a) Calculate the distributed and point loads on Beam B.
b) Draw the Shear Force Diagram and Bending Moment Diagram for this beam. Make sure to indicate where the diagrams are positive, negative, constant, linear, or curved respectively.
c) Draw the distribution of Bending Stress through the depth of the beam at the middle of the main ). Make sure to indicate where it is in tension and where it is in compression.
d) Comment (no math) on what you would expect if you had analyzed Beam A instead.
