1 Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the beam and loading shown, and determine the
maximum absolute value (a) of the shear, (b) of the bending moment.
6 ft = 1.8 m
3 ft = 0.9 m
3 kips/ft = 45 kN/m
30 kips = 120 kN

2 Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the beam and loading shown, and determine the
maximum absolute value (a) of the shear, (b) of the bending moment.

3 Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the beam and loading shown.
4 Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the beam and loading shown.

5 A solid steel bar has a square cross section of side b and is supported as shown. Knowing that for steel  =
7860 kg/m3, determine the shear and bending moment diagrams.

6 Determine (a) the equations of the shear and bending-moment curves for the beam and loading shown, (b)
the maximum absolute value of the bending moment in the beam.
