3.9 A beam ABCDE, with A on the left, is 7 m long and is simply supported at B and E. The lengths of the various portions are AB = 1.5 m, BC = 1.5 m, CD = 1 m and DE = 3 m. There is a uniformly distributed load of 15 kN/m between B and a point 2 m to the right of B and concentrated loads of 20 kN act at A and D with one of 50 kN at C. (a) Draw the S.F. diagrams and hence determine the position from A at which the S.F. is zero. (b) Determine the value of the B.M. at this point. (c) Sketch the B.M. diagram approximately to scale, quoting the principal values. [3.32 m; 69.8 kN m; 0, -30, 69.1, 68.1, 0 kNm]
