Question
Draw and shear and moment diagrams for the beam.

Transcribed Image Text:The image illustrates a structural beam supported at two points, A and B, and subjected to several loads.
- **Support at A**: The beam is fixed at point A on the left side. This suggests it might be a fixed support capable of resisting vertical, horizontal, and moment forces.
- **Support at B**: Located 5 meters from A (2m + 3m), point B appears to have a simple support (like a roller), indicating it can resist vertical force but allows for horizontal translation and rotation.
### Loads Applied:
1. **Moment Load**:
- A moment of 20 kN·m is applied 2 meters from support A. This moment is rotating clockwise about its point of application.
2. **Point Load**:
- An 8 kN vertical downward load is applied 3 meters from A (2m + 1m).
3. **Distributed Load**:
- A uniform distributed load of 15 kN/m acts over the 3-meter segment to the right of point B.
### Distances:
- Between point A and the point of moment application: 2 meters.
- Between the point of moment application and the point of the point load: 1 meter.
- Between the point load and point B: 2 meters.
- The distributed load extends 3 meters to the right of point B.
This setup is typical for analyzing shear forces, bending moments, and reactions in statically determinate beams.
