To draw the shear diagram:

1. At segment AB, the shear is uniformly

distributed at 1900 lb.
2. A shear of -100 lb is uniformly
distributed over segments BC and CD.

To draw the Moment Diagram:

1. MAB = 1900x is linear; at x = 0, MAB =

0; at x = 3 ft, MAB = 5700 lb·ft.
2. For segment BC, MBC = -100x + 6000 is
linear; at x = 3 ft, MBC = 5700 lb·ft; at x
= 9 ft, MBC = 5100 lb·ft.
3. MCD = -100x + 1200 is again linear; at x
= 9 ft, MCD = 300 lb·ft; at x = 12 ft,
MCD = 0.

MCD=20x−30(2)(x−4)
MCD=20x−60(x−4)kN⋅m
To draw the Shear Diagram:

1. For segment AB, the shear is uniformly distributed at 20 kN.

2. VBC = 110 - 30x for segment BC; at x = 3 m, VBC = 20 kN; at x = 5 m, VBC = -40 kN. For
VBC = 0, x = 3.67 m or 0.67 m from B.
3. The shear for segment CD is uniformly distributed at -40 kN.

To draw the Moment Diagram:

1. For AB, MAB = 20x; at x = 0, MAB = 0; at x = 3 m, MAB = 60 kN·m.

2. MBC = 20x - 15(x - 3)2 for segment BC is second degree curve; at x = 3 m, MBC = 60 kN·m;
at x = 5 m, MBC = 40 kN·m. Note that maximum moment occurred at zero shear; at x = 3.67
m, MBC = 66.67 kN·m.
3. MCD = 20x - 60(x - 4) for segment BC is linear; at x = 5 m, MCD = 40 kN·m; at x = 6 m,
MCD = 0.
