![A beam (ABC) has a pin support at the left-hand edge (point A) and is supported by a thinner beam
(CD). Beam ABC is loaded with a linearly increasing distributed load between point A and point B.
The intensity of the distributed load is zero at point A and equal to at point B. A concentrated
moment, Mc, is applied to beam ABC at point C. As the connection at point C is considered pinned,
there is no transfer of bending moments between beam ABC and beam CD. Beam CD is pinned at
one end (Point D) and connected to beam ABC via a pin (point C). There is a concentrated load, P,
applied to beam CD a shown below.

In order to analyse this structure, you will:
a) Construct the free body diagrams for the structure shown above. When constructing your
FBD's you must make section cuts at point B and point C. You can represent the structure as
three separate beams. Following this, construct the axial force, bending moment and shear
force diagrams for each beam. Do not substitute in values for wo, Letc. Clearly label all of the
key features of the shear force and bending moment diagrams (include features such as
maximum values of axial force, shear force and bending moment and the locations where
the values change from positive to negative).
Take care with your sign convention!
b) Assuming that both beams (ABC and CD) have a solid square cross-section. The side lengths
of the cross-sections are 'ABC' and 'aco'. Design the beams to withstand the applied loading.
Make sure that you consider all loading conditions (axial, bending and shear). Clearly state
your calculated value of a in mm for each possible failure mode for both beams to one
decimal place. Use the parameters shown in Table 1 to calculate the beam dimensions.

Follow-up Question
So VDL should belong to upward force instead of downward force side. And the sign should be negative instead of positive. Can you make it more clear ?
![Sum of upward forces=Sum of downward forces
VA + VB + V₁ + V₂ = VB + V₁ + VDL
Vc
Cancel Vc and Vb from both sides ;
= VDL

But;
VDL =

Follow-up Question
If Wo is acting upward, How could VDL act downward?
Solution
Follow-up Question
For the first line of calculation: why VA+VD= 1/2xWxL
I think it should be VA+VD=-1/2xWxL according to sign convention
