Transcribed Image Text:### Structural Analysis of a Loaded Beam
**Q.2) (a) Find the support reactions of the beam shown below.**
(b) Sketch the shear-force and bending moment diagrams for the loaded beam shown below without formulating the SF and BM equations. Also label the values of shear-force and bending-moment at all key points.**
**Beam Description:**
The beam is supported at two points, marked as A and B. The horizontal beam is subjected to various loads as follows:
- A uniformly distributed load (UDL) of 6 kN/m is applied over a length of 4 meters starting from the left end (between A and B).
- A point load of 12 kN acts downwards at a distance of 6 meters from the left end.
- A clockwise moment of 8 kN.m is applied at a point 8 meters from the left end.
- Another UDL that linearly increases from 0 kN/m to 10 kN/m over a length of 3 meters, starting at 7 meters from the left end.
**Dimensions:**
- Distance from the left end to support A: 2 meters
- Distance between supports A and B: 4 meters
- Distance from support B to the point where the linearly increasing UDL ends: 3 meters
**Diagram Descriptions:**
- A vertical y-axis and a horizontal x-axis are used for reference.
- The uniformly distributed load of 6 kN/m is visually depicted by arrows pointing downwards, distributed evenly between supports A and B.
- The 12 kN point load acts vertically downward with a distinct arrow at the specific location mentioned.
- The 8 kN.m moment is indicated with a curved arrow, showing the point of action and direction.
- The linearly increasing load is represented by a triangular shape, starting from 0 and peaking at 10 kN/m towards the end of the beam.
**Graphical Explanations:**
1. **Support Reactions:**
- The reactions at supports A and B act vertically upward to counterbalance the applied loads.
2. **Shear Force Diagram (SFD):**
- The shear force diagram would start from zero at the left end.
- It will linearly increase or decrease corresponding to the respective loads (UDL, point load, and moment).
- Key points where the shear force drastically changes should be marked and their values calculated.
