A beam of length 10 m is subjected to the loading as shown in Fig. Q2. The uniformly distributed load (UDL) acts between D and B and has a value of 12 kN/m. Point loads of 8 kN and 20 kN act at points E and C, respectively.
(i) Calculate the support reactions at A and B.
(ii) Sketch the shear force diagram for the beam, showing all the important values.
(iii) Sketch the bending moment diagram for the beam, showing all the important values.
