Question
**Title: Drawing Shear and Bending-Moment Diagrams for Beams**

**Problem Statement:**

Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the given beam.

**Description of the Beam:**

- **Supports and Loads:**
  - The beam is simply supported at point \(A\) on the left (pinned connection) and has a roller support at point \(B\).
  - There is a uniformly distributed load of \(50 \, \text{lb/ft}\) extending between points \(A\) and \(B\).
  - At the right end of the beam, point \(C\), there is a clockwise moment of \(200 \, \text{lb} \cdot \text{ft}\).

- **Dimensions:**
  - The distance from point \(A\) to point \(B\) is \(20 \, \text{ft}\).
  - The distance from point \(B\) to point \(C\) is \(10 \, \text{ft}\).

**Explanation for Drawing the Diagrams:**

1. **Shear Force Diagram:**
   - Calculate the reactions at the supports \(A\) and \(B\).
   - Plot the shear force starting from \(A\) moving towards \(C\), considering the effect of the distributed load and the reactions.
   - The change in shear force is linearly decreasing due to the distributed load.
   - At point \(B\), the shear force will account for the reaction at \(B\).

2. **Bending Moment Diagram:**
   - Start from point \(A\) with a moment of zero.
   - Calculate the moment at various points along the beam, such as at supports and under the distributed load.
   - The moment at point \(C\) includes the additional effect of the applied moment of \(200 \, \text{lb} \cdot \text{ft}\).

These diagrams will provide insight into the internal forces and moments the beam experiences under the applied loading conditions.
