Prob. 5.5-8. A beam and its loading are shown in the referenced figure. For each of these problems: (a) Use equilibrium to verify the reactions. (b) Using discontinuity functions from the Load col- umn of Table 5.2, write an expression for the in- tensity p(x) of the equivalent distributed load. In- clude the reactions in your expression for the equivalent load. (c) Perform a term-by-term integration of the load expression to obtain a discontinuity-function ex- pression for the shear force V(x), and sketch a shear diagram like the one in Fig. 2b of Example Problem 5.10. Refer to the Shear column of Ta- ble 5.2. (d) Perform a term-by-term integration of the shear expression obtained in Part (c) to obtain a discon- tinuity-function expression for the moment M(x). Sketch a moment diagram like the one in Fig. 2c of Example Problem 5.10. Refer to the Moment column of Table 5.2. Vc = 8 kips and Me 48 kip. ft. 1.5 kips/ft 8 ft 20 kips 12 ft
