EX5.5-9: Consider a simply supported beam as shown below.

Solving the above eqns gives reactions:

(1) Express the internal force distributions using the singular functions. Ay q0 L / 4 , B y 11q0 L / 4
(2) Plot the shear force and moment diagrams using the area method. (2) The loading, shear force and moment diagrams are shown below.
