Review the Solution The dimensions on the shear diagram (F) and the
moment diagram (FL) are correct. If we draw finite free-body diagrams
of the ends of the beam, we get Fig. 4. Therefore, the shear diagram in Fig.
36 has the correct signs according to the free-body sketches in Fig. 4 and the
sign convention in Fig. 5.6. The downward force will bend the beam as
shown in Fig. 5, which is consistent with the fact that the bending moment
is positive everywhere. The maximum bending moment occurs at the cross
section where the force P is applied and where the shear force changes sign.

Shear Diagram: Equations 5.2, 5.4, and 5.6 involve the shear. Using
these equations and the load diagram in Fig. 3a, we can sketch V(x) pro-
gressively from x = 0 to x = L. It is convenient to sketch the shear and
moment diagrams directly below the load diagram. Each step involved in
sketching V(x) is numbered in Fig. 3b.
1. The shear at x=0" is zero.
2. The shear at x = 0 is determined from Eq. 5.4, that is, AV₁ =
A, M/L. Note that, because of the sign convention for shear,
an upward concentrated force causes an upward jump in the shear
diagram.
3. For 0<x<L.p(x) = 0. Therefore, from Eq. 5.2, dV/dx = 0, V(x)=

2. For <x<a, Eq. 5.3 gives dM/dx = V(x) = M/L = constant.
3. Atxa, M(a) can be determined from Eq. 5.7 as the area of the

Since dV/dx=-8 for 0 <x<4 m, and since V(0) = 8 kN, V = 0

Moment Diagram: The steps employed in constructing the moment dia-
gram (Fig. 3c) using Eqs. 5.2 through 5.7 will now be described:
1. M(0) = 0 [no moment at end of beam].
2. From dM/dx = V(x) we have the slope of M(x) going from +8
kN m/m at x=0 to zero at x = x=1 m. Therefore, the mo-
ment diagram for 0 < x <1 m must have the general shape.
[Eq.5.3].
3. M(x) is maximum where V(x) = 0 [Eq. 5.3].
4.
M(1) M(0)+5V(x)dx = (8 kN)(1 m) = 4 kN·m [Eq. 5.7; area
of triangle].
5. From x = 1 m to x 4 m, V(x) gets progressively more negative.
Therefore, M(x) must have the general shape [Eq.5.3].
6. M(4) M(0)+ V(x)dx=0+ (8 kN)(1 m)+(-24 kN)(3 m) =
-32 kN m (Eq. 5.7; net of areas of triangles]
7. dM/dx V(x)-16 kN [Eq.5.3].
8. M(6) M(4)+5V(x)dx = -32 kNm+ (16 kN)(2 m) = 0 [Eq.
5.7; no moment at end of beam].
The maximum shear occurs just to the left of the support at B and
has a magnitude of 24 kN. The maximum positive moment occurs where
V = 0 at x = 1 m and has a magnitude of 4 kN m; and the maximum
16kN negative moment occurs at the support B, and it has a magnitude of
32 kN·m.

Review the Solution By imagining cuts just to the right of A (Fig. 4a),
just to the left of B (Fig. 4b), and just to the right of B (Fig. 4c), we can
check the sign of the shear at these points.
The moment diagram is best checked by seeing if the sign of the
moment diagram corresponds to a reasonable deflected shape, that is,
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where

M(x) is negative, according to the sign convention that is given Fig. 5.6c.
Where M(x) = 0, the beam is locally straight, that is, it is neither concave
upward nor concave downward. We are able to sketch (Fig. 5) a plausi-
ble deflection curve that passes over the supports at A and B and that is
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where M
is negative. The distributed load between A and B and the concentrated
load at C could, indeed, cause the beam to deflect as sketched.

Shear Diagram: Equations 5.2, 5.4, and 5.6 involve the shear. Using
these equations and the load diagram in Fig. 3a, we can sketch V(x) pro-
gressively from x = 0 to x-L. It is convenient to sketch the shear and
moment diagrams directly below the load diagram. Each step involved in
sketching V(x) is numbered in Fig. 3b.
1. The shear at x=0" is zero.
2. The shear at x=0 is determined from Eq. 5.4, that is, AV₁ =

Since dV/dx=-8 for 0 <x<4 m, and since V(0) = 8 kN, V = 0

Moment Diagram: The steps employed in constructing the moment dia-
gram (Fig. 3c) using Eqs. 5.2 through 5.7 will now be described:
1. M(0) = 0 [no moment at end of beam].
2. From dM/dx = V(x) we have the slope of M(x) going from +8
kN m/m at x=0 to zero at x = x=1 m. Therefore, the mo-
ment diagram for 0 < x <1 m must have the general shape.
[Eq.5.3].
3. M(x) is maximum where V(x) = 0 [Eq. 5.3].
4.
M(1) M(0)+5V(x)dx = (8 kN)(1 m) = 4 kN·m [Eq. 5.7; area
of triangle].
5. From x = 1 m to x 4 m, V(x) gets progressively more negative.
Therefore, M(x) must have the general shape [Eq.5.3].
6. M(4) M(0)+ V(x)dx=0+ (8 kN)(1 m)+(-24 kN)(3 m) =
-32 kN m (Eq. 5.7; net of areas of triangles]
7. dM/dx V(x)-16 kN [Eq.5.3].
8. M(6) M(4)+5V(x)dx = -32 kNm+ (16 kN)(2 m) = 0 [Eq.
5.7; no moment at end of beam].
The maximum shear occurs just to the left of the support at B and
has a magnitude of 24 kN. The maximum positive moment occurs where
V = 0 at x = 1 m and has a magnitude of 4 kN m; and the maximum
16kN negative moment occurs at the support B, and it has a magnitude of
32 kN·m.

Review the Solution By imagining cuts just to the right of A (Fig. 4a),
just to the left of B (Fig. 4b), and just to the right of B (Fig. 4c), we can
check the sign of the shear at these points.
The moment diagram is best checked by seeing if the sign of the
moment diagram corresponds to a reasonable deflected shape, that is,

Where M(x) = 0, the beam is locally straight, that is, it is neither concave
upward nor concave downward. We are able to sketch (Fig. 5) a plausi-
ble deflection curve that passes over the supports at A and B and that is
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where M
is negative. The distributed load between A and B and the concentrated

Shear Diagram: Equations 5.2, 5.4, and 5.6 involve the shear. Using
these equations and the load diagram in Fig. 3a, we can sketch V(x) pro-
gressively from x = 0 to x-L. It is convenient to sketch the shear and
moment diagrams directly below the load diagram. Each step involved in
sketching V(x) is numbered in Fig. 3b.
1. The shear at x=0" is zero.
2. The shear at x=0 is determined from Eq. 5.4, that is, AV₁ =

an upward concentrated force causes an upward jump in the shear
diagram.
3. For 0<x<Lp(x) = 0. Therefore, from Eq. 5.2, dVidx = 0, V(x) =
ML constant.
4. The reaction at C causes AV-M/L, which closes the shear
diagram back to zero at x = L*.

3. Atxa,M(a) can be determined from Eq. 5.7 as the area of the
rectangle under the shear curve from x = 0 to x = a." Therefore

Review the Solution The dimensions on the shear diagram (F) and the

36 has the correct signs according to the free-body sketches in Fig. 4 and the
sign convention in Fig. 5.6. The downward force will bend the beam as
shown in Fig. 5, which is consistent with the fact that the bending moment

shown in Fig. 5, which is consistent with the fact that the bending moment

Shear Diagram: Equations 5.2, 5.4, and 5.6 involve the shear. Using

Moment Diagram: The steps employed in constructing the moment dia-
gram (Fig. 3c) using Eqs. 5.2 through 5.7 will now be described:
1. M(0) = 0 [no moment at end of beam].
2. From dM/dx = V(x) we have the slope of M(x) going from +8
kN m/m at x=0 to zero at x = x=1 m. Therefore, the mo-
ment diagram for 0 < x <1 m must have the general shape.
[Eq.5.3].
3. M(x) is maximum where V(x) = 0 [Eq. 5.3].
4.
M(1) M(0)+5V(x)dx = (8 kN)(1 m) = 4 kN·m [Eq. 5.7; area
of triangle].
5. From x = 1 m to x 4 m, V(x) gets progressively more negative.
Therefore, M(x) must have the general shape [Eq.5.3].
6. M(4) M(0)+ V(x)dx=0+ (8 kN)(1 m)+(-24 kN)(3 m) =
-32 kN m (Eq. 5.7; net of areas of triangles]
7. dM/dx V(x)-16 kN [Eq.5.3].
8. M(6) M(4)+5V(x)dx = -32 kNm+ (16 kN)(2 m) = 0 [Eq.
5.7; no moment at end of beam].
The maximum shear occurs just to the left of the support at B and
has a magnitude of 24 kN. The maximum positive moment occurs where
V = 0 at x = 1 m and has a magnitude of 4 kN m; and the maximum
16kN negative moment occurs at the support B, and it has a magnitude of
32 kN·m.

Review the Solution By imagining cuts just to the right of A (Fig. 4a),
just to the left of B (Fig. 4b), and just to the right of B (Fig. 4c), we can
check the sign of the shear at these points.
The moment diagram is best checked by seeing if the sign of the
moment diagram corresponds to a reasonable deflected shape, that is,
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where

M(x) is negative, according to the sign convention that is given Fig. 5.6c.
Where M(x) = 0, the beam is locally straight, that is, it is neither concave
upward nor concave downward. We are able to sketch (Fig. 5) a plausi-
ble deflection curve that passes over the supports at A and B and that is
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where M
is negative. The distributed load between A and B and the concentrated
load at C could, indeed, cause the beam to deflect as sketched.

It is convenient to sketch the V (Fig. 3b) and M (Fig. 3c) diagrams

diagram (Fig. 3b).
1. V(0)=0 [no shear at end of beam].

Since dV/dx=-8 for 0 <x<4 m, and since V(0) = 8 kN, V = 0

Moment Diagram: The steps employed in constructing the moment dia-
gram (Fig. 3c) using Eqs. 5.2 through 5.7 will now be described:
1. M(0) = 0 [no moment at end of beam].
2. From dM/dx = V(x) we have the slope of M(x) going from +8
kN m/m at x=0 to zero at x = x=1 m. Therefore, the mo-
ment diagram for 0 < x <1 m must have the general shape.
[Eq.5.3].
3. M(x) is maximum where V(x) = 0 [Eq. 5.3].
4.
M(1) M(0)+5V(x)dx = (8 kN)(1 m) = 4 kN·m [Eq. 5.7; area
of triangle].
5. From x = 1 m to x 4 m, V(x) gets progressively more negative.
Therefore, M(x) must have the general shape [Eq.5.3].
6. M(4) M(0)+ V(x)dx=0+ (8 kN)(1 m)+(-24 kN)(3 m) =
-32 kN m (Eq. 5.7; net of areas of triangles]
7. dM/dx V(x)-16 kN [Eq.5.3].
8. M(6) M(4)+5V(x)dx = -32 kNm+ (16 kN)(2 m) = 0 [Eq.
5.7; no moment at end of beam].
The maximum shear occurs just to the left of the support at B and
has a magnitude of 24 kN. The maximum positive moment occurs where
V = 0 at x = 1 m and has a magnitude of 4 kN m; and the maximum
16kN negative moment occurs at the support B, and it has a magnitude of
32 kN·m.

Review the Solution By imagining cuts just to the right of A (Fig. 4a),
just to the left of B (Fig. 4b), and just to the right of B (Fig. 4c), we can
check the sign of the shear at these points.
The moment diagram is best checked by seeing if the sign of the
moment diagram corresponds to a reasonable deflected shape, that is,
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where

Where M(x) = 0, the beam is locally straight, that is, it is neither concave
upward nor concave downward. We are able to sketch (Fig. 5) a plausi-
ble deflection curve that passes over the supports at A and B and that is
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where M
is negative. The distributed load between A and B and the concentrated

Shear Diagram: Equations 5.2, 5.4, and 5.6 involve the shear. Using
these equations and the load diagram in Fig. 3a, we can sketch V(x) pro-
gressively from x = 0 to x-L. It is convenient to sketch the shear and
moment diagrams directly below the load diagram. Each step involved in
sketching V(x) is numbered in Fig. 3b.
1. The shear at x=0" is zero.
2. The shear at x=0 is determined from Eq. 5.4, that is, AV₁ =

an upward concentrated force causes an upward jump in the shear
diagram.
3. For 0<x<Lp(x) = 0. Therefore, from Eq. 5.2, dVidx = 0, V(x) =
ML constant.
4. The reaction at C causes AV-M/L, which closes the shear
diagram back to zero at x = L*.

1. The moment at x = 0 is zero (simply supported beam).

36 has the correct signs according to the free-body sketches in Fig. 4 and the
sign convention in Fig. 5.6. The downward force will bend the beam as
shown in Fig. 5, which is consistent with the fact that the bending moment

shown in Fig. 5, which is consistent with the fact that the bending moment

Moment Diagram: The steps employed in constructing the moment dia-
gram (Fig. 3c) using Eqs. 5.2 through 5.7 will now be described:
1. M(0) = 0 [no moment at end of beam].
2. From dM/dx = V(x) we have the slope of M(x) going from +8
kN m/m at x=0 to zero at x = x=1 m. Therefore, the mo-
ment diagram for 0 < x <1 m must have the general shape.
[Eq.5.3].
3. M(x) is maximum where V(x) = 0 [Eq. 5.3].
4.
M(1) M(0)+5V(x)dx = (8 kN)(1 m) = 4 kN·m [Eq. 5.7; area
of triangle].
5. From x = 1 m to x 4 m, V(x) gets progressively more negative.
Therefore, M(x) must have the general shape [Eq.5.3].
6. M(4) M(0)+ V(x)dx=0+ (8 kN)(1 m)+(-24 kN)(3 m) =
-32 kN m (Eq. 5.7; net of areas of triangles]
7. dM/dx V(x)-16 kN [Eq.5.3].
8. M(6) M(4)+5V(x)dx = -32 kNm+ (16 kN)(2 m) = 0 [Eq.
5.7; no moment at end of beam].
The maximum shear occurs just to the left of the support at B and
has a magnitude of 24 kN. The maximum positive moment occurs where
V = 0 at x = 1 m and has a magnitude of 4 kN m; and the maximum
16kN negative moment occurs at the support B, and it has a magnitude of
32 kN·m.

Review the Solution By imagining cuts just to the right of A (Fig. 4a),
just to the left of B (Fig. 4b), and just to the right of B (Fig. 4c), we can
check the sign of the shear at these points.
The moment diagram is best checked by seeing if the sign of the
moment diagram corresponds to a reasonable deflected shape, that is,
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where

M(x) is negative, according to the sign convention that is given Fig. 5.6c.
Where M(x) = 0, the beam is locally straight, that is, it is neither concave
upward nor concave downward. We are able to sketch (Fig. 5) a plausi-
ble deflection curve that passes over the supports at A and B and that is
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where M
is negative. The distributed load between A and B and the concentrated
load at C could, indeed, cause the beam to deflect as sketched.

Since dV/dx=-8 for 0 <x<4 m, and since V(0) = 8 kN, V = 0
at x = 1 m [Eq. 5.6].
Moment Diagram: The steps employed in constructing the moment dia-
gram (Fig. 3c) using Eqs. 5.2 through 5.7 will now be described:
1. M(0) = 0 [no moment at end of beam].
2. From dM/dx = V(x) we have the slope of M(x) going from +8
kN m/m at x=0 to zero at x = x=1 m. Therefore, the mo-
ment diagram for 0 < x <1 m must have the general shape.
[Eq.5.3].
3. M(x) is maximum where V(x) = 0 [Eq. 5.3].
4.
M(1) M(0)+5V(x)dx = (8 kN)(1 m) = 4 kN·m [Eq. 5.7; area
of triangle].
5. From x = 1 m to x 4 m, V(x) gets progressively more negative.
Therefore, M(x) must have the general shape [Eq.5.3].
6. M(4) M(0)+ V(x)dx=0+ (8 kN)(1 m)+(-24 kN)(3 m) =
-32 kN m (Eq. 5.7; net of areas of triangles]
7. dM/dx V(x)-16 kN [Eq.5.3].
8. M(6) M(4)+5V(x)dx = -32 kNm+ (16 kN)(2 m) = 0 [Eq.
5.7; no moment at end of beam].
The maximum shear occurs just to the left of the support at B and
has a magnitude of 24 kN. The maximum positive moment occurs where
V = 0 at x = 1 m and has a magnitude of 4 kN m; and the maximum
16kN negative moment occurs at the support B, and it has a magnitude of
32 kN·m.

Review the Solution By imagining cuts just to the right of A (Fig. 4a),
just to the left of B (Fig. 4b), and just to the right of B (Fig. 4c), we can
check the sign of the shear at these points.
The moment diagram is best checked by seeing if the sign of the
moment diagram corresponds to a reasonable deflected shape, that is,
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where

M(x) is negative, according to the sign convention that is given Fig. 5.6c.
Where M(x) = 0, the beam is locally straight, that is, it is neither concave
upward nor concave downward. We are able to sketch (Fig. 5) a plausi-
ble deflection curve that passes over the supports at A and B and that is
concave upward where M(x) is positive and concave downward where M
is negative. The distributed load between A and B and the concentrated
load at C could, indeed, cause the beam to deflect as sketched.

couple at B, we need to consider two spans, 0<x<a and a<x<L.

Shear Diagram: Equations 5.2, 5.4, and 5.6 involve the shear. Using
these equations and the load diagram in Fig. 3a, we can sketch V(x) pro-
gressively from x = 0 to x-L. It is convenient to sketch the shear and
moment diagrams directly below the load diagram. Each step involved in
sketching V(x) is numbered in Fig. 3b.
1. The shear at x=0" is zero.
2. The shear at x=0 is determined from Eq. 5.4, that is, AV₁ =
A, M/L. Note that, because of the sign convention for shear,
an upward concentrated force causes an upward jump in the shear
diagram.
3. For 0<x<Lp(x) = 0. Therefore, from Eq. 5.2, dVidx = 0, V(x) =
ML constant.
4. The reaction at C causes AV-M/L, which closes the shear
diagram back to zero at x = L*.
Moment Diagram: Equations 5.3, 5.5, and 5.7 relate to M(x) and can be
(4) used to sketch the moment diagram in Fig. 3c. Steps in the construction.
of the moment diagram are explained and numbered.

1. The moment at x = 0 is zero (simply supported beam).
2. For 0<x<a, Eq. 5.3 gives dM/dx = V(x) = M/L = constant.
3. Atxa,M(a) can be determined from Eq. 5.7 as the area of the
rectangle under the shear curve from x = 0 to x = a." Therefore
M(a)-0fgV(x)dx = Moal L.
4. At x = a there is a negative jump in moment given by Eq.5.5. So

For a <x<L, Eq. 5.3 gives dM/dx - V(x) - M/L - constant.
Equation 5.7 gives M(L) M(a) = f(x)dx = (M/L)(La),
which closes the moment diagram back to zero at x = L, as it should
[simple support at C].
Review the Solution The dimensions on the shear diagram (F) and the
moment diagram (F L) are correct. Note that both the maximum
moment, Moall, and the minimum bending moment, -Mo(La)/L,
occur at the cross section where the concentrated couple acts. Compare
this example with the previous one, where there was a concentrated
force.
