I was wondering how you incorporate an angled load into a shear force diagram? So far I've only been working with vertical loads and I've looked through my entire book without finding an example with loads at an angle, so I'm not sure what to do here. I know I have to end up at 0 so I see I can't just continue on 25 downwards...

Figure with measurements attached.
