The beam shown below carries point and linearly distributed loads and is supported by a pin on the left and a roller on the right. Note that rollers can be assumed to react to either tensile or compressive loads. a) For each beam, draw all necessary free-body diagrams using the method of sections and find functions for the internal shear force (V(x)) and bending moment (M(x)) due to the external forces where x is a horizontal coordinate along the length of each beam, measured from the left end of each beam, as shown in the figure. Your expression(s) must allow to obtain internal reactions for 0≤x≤L, where L is the length of each beam. Make sure you use the numerical values of the reactions at the supports to get your expressions. Note that "k" stands for "kip" (1000 lbs) in the labels for the point loads and distributed loads. b) Plot V(x) and M(x) using the expressions you obtained above using a computer program. You will lose points if hand-drawn plots are submitted.

A beam of length L is designed to support a uniform load of intensity q (see figure). If the supports of the beam are placed at the ends, creating a simple beam, the maximum bending moment in the beam is qL2/8. However, if the supports of the beam are moved symmetrically toward the middle of the beam (as shown), the maximum bending moment is reduced. Determine the distance a between the supports so that the maximum bending moment in the beam has the smallest possible numerical value. Draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for this condition. Repeat part (a) if the uniform load is replaced with a triangularly distributed load with peak intensity q0= q at mid-span (see Fig. b).
