PROBLEM (4): A simple beam AB shown in the figure supports a concentrated load of 4000 Ib (4.0 k)
and a segment of uniform load of 2000 Ib/ft (2.0 Wt). Draw and label the shear-force and bending-
moment diagram for this beam. (Key points should be marked on the sketchs. Full credit will be given
for sketchs with accurate labels on maxima, minima and intercepts. A bonus point will be awarded for
determining the equations of any non-linear segments).
