Question
The diagram provided illustrates a beam loaded with a uniformly distributed load along its length. The task is to draw the shear force and moment diagrams for the given beam.

### Description:

- **Beam Configuration:**
  - The beam is simply supported with support at point A on the left and a roller support at point B on the right.
  - The beam is loaded with a triangularly distributed load across its span.
  - The peak intensity of the load is \( w_0 \) at the center of the beam.

- **Span Details:**
  - The beam is divided into two equal segments, each of length \( \frac{L}{2} \).

### Instructions:

1. **Shear Force Diagram:**
   - Begin by calculating the reactions at supports A and B.
   - Then, use the calculated reactions and the distributed load to determine the shear force along the beam.
   - Plot the shear force distribution from A to B, noting where the force changes due to the triangular loading.

2. **Moment Diagram:**
   - Using the shear force diagram, calculate the bending moment at various points along the beam.
   - Plot the moment distribution, identifying key points such as the maximum moment.

This exercise provides insights into how loading conditions affect the internal forces within a structure, which is crucial for structural analysis and design.
