Distributed Load
 A FBD diagram for a small
 segment of the beam having a
 length ∆x is chosen at point x
 along the beam which is not
 subjected to a concentrated force
 or couple moment

 The internal shear force and bending
 moments shown on the FBD are
 assumed to act in the positive sense
 Both the shear force and moment
 acting on the right-hand face must
 be increased by a small, finite
 amount in order to keep the
 segment in equilibrium

Distributed Load
 At a specified point in a beam, the slope of the
 shear diagram is equal to the intensity of the
 distributed load
 Slope of the moment diagram = shear
 If the shear is equal to zero, dM/dx = 0, a point
 of zero shear corresponds to a point of maximum
 (or possibly minimum) moment

Solution
  At the ends of the beams,
  when x = 0, V = +1080
  when x = 2, V = +600
  Uniform load is downwards and slope of
  the shear diagram is constant
  dV/dx = -w = - 400     for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.2
  The above represents a change in shear

7.3 Relations between Distributed
       Load, Shear and Moment
Solution
  At A, reaction is up,
  vA = +100kN
  No load acts between A and C so shear remains
  constant, dV/dx = -w(x) = 0
  600kN force acts downwards, so the shear jumps
  down 600kN from 100kN to -500kN at point B
  No jump occur at point D where the 4000kN.m
  coupe moment is applied since ∆V = 0

7.3 Relations between Distributed
       Load, Shear and Moment

Solution
  Since MA = 0, MC = 0 + 1000kN.m = 1000kN.m
  From C to D, slope, dM/dx = V = -500
  For area under the shear diagram between C and
  D, ∆MCD = (-500kN)(5m) = -2500kN, so that MD
  = MC + ∆MCD = 1000 – 2500 = -1500kN.m
  Jump at point D caused by concentrated couple
  moment of 4000kN.m
  Positive jump for clockwise couple moment
7.3 Relations between Distributed

Solution
  At x = 15m, MD = - 1500 + 4000 = 2500kN.m
  Also, by Method of Sections, from point D,
  slope dM/dx = -500 is maintained until the
  diagram closes to zero at B
