Question

) Using the Equations of Equilibrium, determine the support reactions for the beam. (1) Calculate the Shear Force along the beam and draw the Shear Force Diagram. Ensure you use

an appropriate scale. (i) Calculate the maximum Bending Moment and draw the Bending Moment Diagram.Ensure you use an appropriate scale. (b) If the beam in figure Q3, between points B and C had a uniform distributed load instead of a point load, describe the change in shape to the shear force and bending moment diagrams.Note, no calculations required. Either produce a sketch showing shape or describe in words.
