Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the loaded beam. After you have the diagrams, answer the questions in order to gain confidence in your plots. 7 kN 4 kN 8 kN·m 4m 5 m 7 kN 8 m B Questions: When x 2.1 m, V = KN M = = kN·m When x = 6.7 m, V = M = KN kN·m When x = 15.2 m, V = M = KN kN·m When x 19.4 m, V = M = KN kN·m The maximum (absolute value) shear force in the beam is: IVmaxl = KN The maximum (absolute value) bending moment in the beam is: |Mmaxl = kN·m
