Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
1. For the beam and loading shown below,
a) Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams.
b) Determine the maximum absolute values of the shear and bending moment.
*(Answer: \( B_x = 0, \, B_y = 8 \, \text{kips} \, \uparrow, \, D_y = 2 \, \text{kips} \, \uparrow \, |V_{\text{max}}| = 4 \, \text{kips}, \, |M_{\text{max}}| = 4 \, \text{kip ft.} \))*
**Diagram Details:**
- **Beam Configuration:**
- The beam is horizontally aligned and uniformly loaded with a distributed load and a point load.
- The distributed load of 2 kips/ft spans from point A to point C over a length of 4 ft.
- A point load of 6 kips is applied downward at point C.
- The beam is supported at point B with a roller support and at point D with a pin support.
- **Support and Load Positions:**
- **Point A:** Start of the beam.
- **Point B:** Located 2 ft from A, roller support.
- **Point C:** Located 4 ft from A, where the point load of 6 kips is applied.
- **Point D:** Located 6 ft from A, end of the beam, pin support.
**Overall Length:**
- The total span of the beam from A to D is 6 ft.
This setup represents a typical beam problem in structural analysis, where one needs to calculate shear and moment reactions to ensure structural stability and integrity.
