9. The beam rests on a support which provides a uniformly
distributed load upward as shown.
(i) Determine the value of this upward load
(ii) Sketch the shear force and bending moment diagram
of the beam
10. A small bracket is rigidly connected to the beam at B.
A load w is applied at the end of the bracket. Find the
value of w if the bending moment at C is to be zero.
Sketch the shear force and bending moment diagrams
showing all important values.
