Figure Q3 shows a symmetrically loaded beam, loaded with a single Uniform Distributed Load (UDL) starting from the leftmost position A (x = 0 m) ending at the end of the beam at the rightmost position D. The UDL has loading case of 10 kN/m, see Figure Q3 for the start and end positions. There are two symmetrically located pivots causing reaction forces of RB at position B (Y = 1.3 m) and RC at position C. The central section of the beam spans for 2.4 m. Calculate the Shear Force value at a position of X=1.9 m. State your answer in kilo-Newtons to one decimal place.
