Figure Q3a shows a simply supported beam AB with support reactions RA and RB. Two point loads F1 = 35 kN and F2 = 65 kN act at points C and D, respectively. The distance AC is L1 = 2.25 m; the distance CD is L2 = 3.25 m; and the distance DB is L3 = 1.50 m. 1. Calculate the reactions RA and RB at points A & B. Give your answers in kilonewtons (kN) to two decimal places. 2. Draw the shear force diagram (SFD) for the beam in Figure Q3a and clearly label values at points A, B, C & D. Label your values in kilonewtons (kN) to two decimal places. 3. Draw the bending moment diagram (BMD) for the beam shown in Figure Q3a and label values at points A, B, C & D. Label your values in kilonewton metres (kNm) to two decimal places.
