Transcribed Image Text:### Beam Analysis Problem
For the beam shown in the figure below:
- **Calculate the reaction forces.**
- **Express the internal shear force and moment in the beam as functions of \(x\) for \(0 \leq x \leq a\) and \(a \leq x \leq a + b\).**
- **Draw the shear and moment diagrams.**
**Given Parameters:**
- \( q_0 = 4 \, \text{kN/m} \) (Triangular distributed load)
- \( a = 4 \, \text{m} \)
- \( b = 1 \, \text{m} \)
- \( F = 5 \, \text{kN} \) (Point load at the end of the beam)
**Beam Diagram Description:**
The beam rests on two supports. The left support is a fixed end, while the right support is a roller. Over the length \(a\), the beam is subjected to a triangular distributed load beginning from \(q_0\) at the left support and tapering to zero at the right end of \(a\). At the end of length \(a + b\), a point load \(F\) is applied downward.
