Draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagram for the beam shown. Assume the upward reaction provided by the ground to be uniformly distributed. Let a = 4.2 ft, b = 3.3 ft, P = 22 kips, and w = 2.7 kips/ft. Label all significant points on each diagram. Determine the maximum value of (a) the internal shear force and (b) the internal bending moment.
Note that answers may be positive or negative. Here, "maximum" refers to the largest magnitude value, but you should enter your shear force and bending moment with the correct sign, using the sign convention presented in Section 7.2 of the textbook. If the magnitudes of the largest positive and largest negative values are the same, enter a positive number.
