Question 1

Based on the shear and moment diagrams shown below, describe the forces acting on the free-body diagram of the structural system.

Provide an example of a structural system that could be represented by the shear and moment diagrams shown.

Question 2

Consider the beam segment shown below where M(x) represents the bending moment at the right end of the segment. The left end of the segment is free.

Write the moment equation for the beam segment.

Question 3

The shear equation for a simply supported beam is: \(V(x) = 20 - \frac{5}{2} x\). The bending moment in the beam reaches its maximum value at what \(x\) value?

Question 4

Consider the beam shown below. What is the moment equation for the left segment of the beam, where \( 0 \le x \le 2 \)?
