Question

The beam consists of two segments pin connected at B.

1. Obtain the shear force V₁(x) and bending moment M₁(x) for 0 < x < 8 ft

2. Obtain the shear force V₂(x) and bending moment M₂(x) for 8 < x < 12 ft

3. Obtain the shear force V₃(x) and bending moment M₃(x) for 12 < x < 18 ft

4. Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams

Remember to draw well-labeled free body diagrams.
