TUTORIAL $1$

Determine the reactions at A and $E$ for the pin$-$jointed truss shown below by considering

equilibrium of the whole truss. Find the bar forces in all members by the method of joint

equilibrium. What do you notice about the force in member BG$?$

Draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams of a cantilever carrying a uniformly$-$

distributed load shown below.

Draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams of a simply$-$supported beam carrying a

uniformly$-$distributed load shown below.

Draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams of the simply$-$supported beam shown

below.
