Determine the internal shear force acting at point C

Determine the internal moment acting at point C

Consider the beam shown in Figure 1. Suppose that the distributed load is \( w = 6 \, \text{kip/ft} \). Follow the sign convention.

**Figure Description:**

The figure depicts a horizontal beam supported at two points: \( A \) and \( B \). The distance between \( A \) and \( B \) is divided into two segments of 6 ft each. The beam is subjected to a distributed load that increases linearly from point \( A \) and remains constant towards point \( B \). The total length of the beam is 12 ft.

- Point \( A \) is at the left end of the beam with a triangular distributed load starting at 0 kip/ft and increasing linearly to 6 kip/ft at a point over the left half of the beam.
- The load continues at 6 kip/ft to another point marked as \( C \).
- The point \( C \) is located 6 ft from both \( A \) and \( B \).

Note:
- The distributed load is represented by arrows perpendicular to the beam, illustrating the load's magnitude and direction.
- Supports are illustrated at both beam endpoints \( A \) and \( B \).
