A beam is loaded and supported as shown, with = 2290 lb, = 2020 lb, = 6340 ft*lb, and = 1150 lb/ft.
The dimensions on the figure are a = 4.2 ft, b = 9.8 ft,and c = 3.5 ft.
Develop expressions that describe the shearing forces and bending moments in the beam as functions of x.
Reactions: = = include units with your answers for reactions
Functions: Interval 0 < x < 4.2 ft: V(x) = lb and M(x) = ft*lb
Interval 4.2 < x < 14 ft: V(x) = lb and M(x) = ft*lb
Interval 14 ft < x < 17.5 ft: V(x) = lb and M(x) = ft*lb omit units from the expressions you develop
