Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam shown in Fig. 6—5a. Wo @ SOLUTION Support Reactions. The distributed load is replaced by its resultant force and the reactions have been determined as shown in Fig. 6-Sb. Shear and Moment Functions. A free-body diagram of a beam segment of length x is shown in Fig. 6-Sc. Note that the intensity of the triangular load at the section is found by proportion, that is, w/x = wa/L or w = wyx/L. With the load intensity known, the resultant of the distributed loading is determined from the area under the diagram.
