Sample Problem 3:
Write shear and moment equations for the beams in the
following problems. In each problem, let x be the distance

3m
measured from the left end of the beam. Also, draw the
sear and moment diagrams, specifying values at all
change of loading positions and at all points of zero shear.
Neglect the mass of the beam in each problem.
