Transcribed Image Text:### Problem P9.12
**Objective:** Compute the reactions and draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam in Figure P9.12. E is constant.
#### Given Information:
- The beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load \( w = 4 \, \text{kN/m} \) from point A to point B.
- There is a point load of \( 18 \, \text{kN} \) acting downward at 3 meters from point C.
- Length from A to B \( = 6 \, \text{meters} \).
- Length from B to the hinge \( = 3 \, \text{meters} \).
- Length from the hinge to point D \( = 6 \, \text{meters} \).
#### Explanation of the Diagram:
The beam is supported as follows:
- A fixed support at point A.
- A hinge at point B which allows angular displacement but no vertical or horizontal translation.
- A roller support at point D which allows horizontal translation but no vertical translation.
The distributed load (w=4 kN/m) applies over the length from A to B. The total uniformly distributed load is therefore \( w \times 6 \, \text{meters} = 24 \, \text{kN} \).
#### Steps:
1. **Determine Reactions at the Supports:**
- Calculate the reactions at points A, B, and D through equilibrium equations.
2. **Shear Force Diagram (SFD):**
- Plot the shear force at various points along the beam.
- Key points include points A, B, hinge, and D using the equilibrium equations and load values.
3. **Bending Moment Diagram (BMD):**
- Plot the bending moment at various points along the beam.
- Using the computed shear forces, integrate across the beam to determine bending moments at key points, particularly points B and D.
Using these computations, draft the corresponding shear force and moment diagrams to visualize the internal forces within the beam.
**Figure P9.12:**
- This figure represents a horizontal beam subjected to both distributed and point loads.
- The left segment (point A to B) is under a uniformly distributed load of 4 kN/m.
- The right segment (point C to D) has a point load of 18 kN at 3 meters from C.
- Supports included are a fixed support at A, a hinge
