Tutorial 2:: Support Reactions and internal forces in beams
Assume P = last two digits of your Roll No. + 1 (units as applicable).
Do Problem 1 and 2 others from the remaining 4

1. Find support reactions for the structures shown in the figures below. Also draw the
bending moment and shear force diagrams for these beams.
