Step 1
First, we need to determine the support reactions at A and B. To do this, we can use the equilibrium equations: ΣFx = 0, ΣFy = 0, and ΣMz = 0. Show more…

Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam and determine the shear and moment as functions of $x$
Express the shear and moment in terms of $x$ for $0<x<3 \mathrm{m}$ and $3 \mathrm{m}<x<4.5 \mathrm{m},$ and then draw the shear and moment diagrams for the simply supported beam.
