The shaft is supported by a smooth thrust bearing at Aand a
smooth journal bearing at B. Draw the shear and moment
diagrams for the shaft.
SOLUTION
Since the loading is discontinuous at the midspan, the shear and moment equations
must be written for regions and of the beam. The
free-body diagram of the beam’s segment sectioned through the arbitrary points
within these two regions are shown in Figs. band c.

The shear diagram shown in Fig. dis plotted using Eqs. (1) and (3). The location at
which the shear is equal to zero is obtained by setting in Eq. (1).
The moment diagram shown in Fig. eis plotted using Eqs. (2) and (4). The value of
the moment at is evaluated using Eq. (2).
