Question

Start with the shear diagram. To use a segment of the left end of the beam to develop the expression for the shear, the vertical reaction at A must be known. Calculate the vertical reaction at A. Let a positive force act up.

 

Write an expression for the internal shear for an arbitrary point between A and B.

 

Write an expression for the internal shear for an arbitrary point between B and C.

 

Draw the shear diagram for the beam.

 

Write an expression for the bending moment at an arbitrary point between A and B. Use the standard sign convention for the internal moment for a beam.

 

Write an expression for the bending moment at an arbitrary point between B and C.

 

Draw the moment diagram for the beam.

 

 

### Diagram Explanation

The image shows a simply supported beam setup, which is commonly used in engineering and physics to study structural mechanics. The beam is horizontally placed with the following features:

- **Supports:**
  - **A**: A pinned support is located at point A on the left, capable of supporting both vertical and horizontal forces. 
  - **C**: A roller support is located at point C on the right, which can only support vertical forces.

- **Loads:**
  - There is a point load labeled **P** acting downward at a specific location on the beam.
  - There is a uniformly distributed load represented by **w**, also acting downward along the entire length of the beam.

- **Distances:**
  - The distance from support A to the point load P (at point B) is 2 meters.
  - The distance from point load P to support C is 5 meters.

This setup is typical for analyzing reactions at the supports and internal stresses within the beam, considering both point and distributed loads.
