2. For the beam and loading shown in Figure 2, draw the shear force and bending-
moment diagrams. Indicate on the diagrams the values of the shear force and
bending moment at locations A, B, C and D.
3. For the beam and loading shown in Figure 3 below, draw the shear force and
bending-moment diagrams and determine the location and magnitude of the
maximum value (a) of the shear force, (b) of the bending moment.
