Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise: Drawing Shear and Moment Diagrams**
*Objective:* Draw the shear and moment diagram for the following beam. Given: \( EI = 1000 \text{ kip·in}^2 \). Report the result.
**Beam Configuration:**
- A simply supported beam with a distributed load of \( 5 \text{ kip/ft} \) over the entire length.
- Total span length of the beam is \( 45 \text{ ft} \).
**Diagram Explanation:**
1. **Beam Layout:**
- The beam is shown horizontally with fixed supports at each end, indicating it is simply supported.
- The distributed load is uniformly applied across the entire span of the beam.
2. **Notations:**
- The uniform distributed load is labeled as \( 5 \text{ kip/ft} \).
- The span of the beam is denoted as \( 45' \) (45 feet).
*Note:* To complete the problem, calculate and graphically depict the shear force and bending moment along the beam. Ensure to set up equilibrium equations to determine reactions at the supports before plotting the diagrams.
