Date: 30th August 2007 Due: 7th September 2007 1. You are encouraged to solve and submit all questions. However, only marked with * will be graded. 2. Submission from 7th September to 13th September will be awarded only half the total weightage. 3. Submission from 13th September will carry no marks. 1*.Draw the shear force diagram and bending moment diagram for the beam loaded and supported as shown in Fig 1.

Fig: 1 2*. Calculate the support reactions and draw shear force and bending moment diagrams for the cantilever beam loaded as depicted in Fig 2.

Fig: 2 3*. For the beam and loading shown in Fig 3, (a) draw the shear force and bending moment diagram, (b) determine the maximum absolute values of the shear and bending moment.
