Part 1 Use the graphical method to construct the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam shown. Let a-11 ft, b-5 ft and w = 11.5 kips/ft. Calculate the reaction forces A, and Cyacting on the beam. Positive values for the reactions are indicated by the directions of the red arrows shown on the free-body diagram below. (Note: Since Ax = 0, it has been omitted from the free-body diagram.) Answers: A, - kips, Cy - kips. Part 2 Determine the shear force acting at each of the following locations: (a) x = 0+ ft (i.e., just to the right of support A) (b) х - 11 ft (c) x = 14.333333333333 ft When entering your answers, use the shear force sign convention. Answer: (a) V - i kips. (b) V = kips. (c) V = kips.
