Question
Solve and draw shear and bending moment diagrams.

Transcribed Image Text:### Structural Beam Diagram
The diagram represents a structural beam subjected to different forces and constraints:
1. **Beam Description**:
- The beam is horizontal and segmented into parts labeled A, B, C, and D.
2. **Forces**:
- At point A, there is a downward force labeled "10k" (presumably representing 10,000 units of force).
- At point C, there is another downward force labeled "20k" (presumably 20,000 units).
3. **Supports**:
- Point B has a roller-type support, allowing for vertical movement but not horizontal (denoted by a small circle on a hatched surface).
- Point D is supported by a pin, restricting both vertical and horizontal movement, indicated by a triangle on a hatched surface.
4. **Distances**:
- The section of the beam from A to B is 5 feet.
- Another 5 feet from B to C.
- From C to D is also 5 feet.
This diagram serves as a fundamental representation useful for understanding concepts in physics and engineering, particularly in static equilibrium analysis.
