Question
### Problem Statement

**6–8.** Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam, and determine the shear and moment throughout the beam as functions of \( x \) for \( 0 \leq x \leq 6 \text{ ft} \) and \( 6 \text{ ft} \leq x \leq 9 \text{ ft} \).

---

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram represents a beam with two different segments:

1. **Distributed Load**:
   - A uniform distributed load of \( 2 \text{ kip/ft} \) acting over a span of 6 feet from the fixed end.
   
2. **Point Load**:
   - A point load of \( 4 \text{ kip} \) located at 6 feet from the fixed end.
   
3. **Moment**:
   - A moment of \( 20 \text{ kip-ft} \) applied at the free end.
   
4. **Beam Segments**:
   - The beam is divided into two segments by position \( x \):
     - \( 0 \leq x \leq 6 \text{ ft} \) under the distributed load.
     - \( 6 \text{ ft} \leq x \leq 9 \text{ ft} \) under the point load and moment.

The horizontal axis indicates the position along the beam, creating a total length of 9 feet.

### Objective

The task is to create shear and moment diagrams for each segment of the beam and to express the shear and moment as functions of \( x \) for the given ranges.
