**Problem 3: Analysis of a Compound Beam**

The compound beam illustrated in the figure consists of two beams, AB and BC, which are connected at point B with a pin. This system is subjected to a variety of loads, including a distributed force, a point load, and a couple moment.

1. **Support Reactions:**
   - Calculate the reaction forces at supports A (left end) and C (right end), as well as the force exerted at pin B.

2. **Shear-Force and Bending-Moment Diagrams:**
   - Use the shortcut method to construct the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the entire beam assembly.

3. **Maximum Values:**
   - Identify the maximum shear force and bending moment values along with their precise locations on the beam.

**Figure Explanation:**

- **Beam AB:**
  - The left portion (AB) begins at support A.
  - It is subjected to a linearly distributed load increasing from 0 to 12 lb/in over a span of 6 inches (5 in to 11 in).
- **Beam BC:**
  - Middle beam BC starts at B and ends at C.
  - Immediately after A, a point load of 60 lb is applied 8 inches to the right of pin B.
  - A couple moment of 120 lb·in acts 5 inches before support C.
- **Supports:**
  - A is a fixed support.
  - C is a roller support.
  
The entire beam spans 31 inches: 5 inches to the first section, plus 6 inches to the peak of the triangular distributed load, 7 inches to pin B, another 5 inches past B, and a final 7 inches to support C.
