Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 8.4 - Find and plot the shear (V) and bending moment (M) equations as functions of x.**
The image displays a structural problem labeled "Problem 8.4." It involves finding the shear force (V) and bending moment (M) as functions of the position x along a beam.
### Description:
- The beam is supported at points A, B, and C.
- **Point A** has a fixed support.
- **Point B** is a hinge.
- **Point C** has a roller support.
- The beam is subjected to two external point loads:
- A 4 kN downward force is applied 4 meters from point A.
- An 8 kN downward force is applied 8 meters from point A.
### Dimensions:
- The beam is divided into sections of 2 meters each, with x representing the distance from point A.
### Instructions:
- Calculate the shear force and bending moment across the beam.
- Consider the effects of the hinge and supports at A and C.
- Plot the equations for shear force (V) and bending moment (M) with respect to x, accounting for changes at the points of loading and support.
This problem is an exercise in understanding structural analysis and the behavior of beams under load, focusing on determining the internal response in terms of shear and bending moments.
