Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on plotting shear force and bending moment diagrams for a beam in static equilibrium. The user is struggling with the application of a 50 kN m moment in the moment diagram, noting that it results in a sudden jump. Key principles mentioned include the algebraic sum of forces in both x and y directions being zero, as well as the moment being zero at any point along the beam. The user seeks clarification on how to accurately represent the moment in the diagram. Understanding the correct approach to incorporate the moment is essential for completing the assignment.

I need to plot shear force and bending moment diagram of it.

Homework Equations


The beam is in static equilibrium so algebraic sum of forces in x and y direction equal zero.
Also, moment is zero at any point.

The Attempt at a Solution



I didn't understand how I am going to deal with 50 kN m.

In the moment diagram at that point it is just a jump of 50kN m, nothing more
