**Problem Statement:**

Determine the bending moment at point C if \( P_1 = 215 \, \text{lb/ft} \), \( P_2 = 417 \, \text{lb/ft} \), and \( P_3 = 210 \, \text{lb/ft} \).

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image depicts a beam FE subjected to three distributed loads, \( P_1 \), \( P_2 \), and \( P_3 \), along its length. Here's a breakdown of the elements:

- The beam FE is divided into five sections, with various supports and load points labeled F, A, C, B, and E.
- **Loads:**
  - \( P_1 = 215 \, \text{lb/ft} \) is applied uniformly over an 8-foot section from F to A.
  - \( P_2 = 417 \, \text{lb/ft} \) is applied uniformly over an 8-foot section from A to B.
  - \( P_3 = 210 \, \text{lb/ft} \) is applied uniformly over a 4-foot section from B to E.
- **Supports:**
  - Point A and B are supported by bearings, indicating they act as points of reaction/support.
- **Dimensions:**
  - Each segment between the points F, A, C, B, and E is 4 feet.

**Objective:**

Calculate the bending moment at point C using the given distributed load values and beam configuration.
