Only had to do 3 cuts not all listed. Plot the diagrams too if allowed. Thank you.
Consider the simply supported beam shown
to the right with a pair of point loads.
a) Using equilibrium equations on section
cuts at these positions (0.0001', 1', 4',
7.9999', 8.00001', 10', and 11.99999'),
calculate the internal forces in the beam
(shear and moment) at each cut.
