Homework Statement
Formulate both the V and M diagrams for the following FBD.
Relevant Equations
How would I go about this? I've looked everywhere on youtube but couldn't find a single example that used distributed forces.
, this is the FBD in question

Welcome!
I still can’t see the posted image.
Hey thanks! this should work:
I'll also add my attempt at the 4 V(m) lines and the resultant graph (which isn't correct, I do know that much)

Could you post the text of the problem?
It seems to be the load distribution on the half-wing of an airliner.
"Determine the functions for the Shear and Moment (“V & M”) lines and put these functions in a table. Choose x=0 at the wingtip, then start working from the wingtip to the wing root. Consequently use the right section of a separation. Create a complete FBD for each required separation."

My teacher mentioned during a lesson that working from tip to root was not mandatory, since the opposite is easier (apparently)
