Transcribed Image Text:A structural engineer has drawn the shear force diagram (SFD) for a beam as shown in
figure below. He assumed the sign convention for shear force as downward force acting on
the right of the section as positive and vice versa. All the loads acting on beam are
vertically downwards. No couple is acting on any part of the beam.
