 Draw the diagram of internal forces of the beams as shown:

 Solution:
 Explain the way to solve this problem:
- Firstly, I find all the reactions at A and C.
- Then, I draw the diagram ofQ y . Starting at A, we have the reaction at this
3
point is 2 qa and it goes up (black line). Next, from A to B, there is a
distribution force q goes down (with magnitude is 2qa) -> from A to B,
3 qa
there is an inclined line (red), which goes down from 2 qa to 2 (2qa -
3 −qa
qa ). Moreover, at B, we have the qa of force, so from , we go up
2 2
qa
to 2 (blue). Because there is nothing within BC so we have a straight
qa
line reaching at C. From the above solution, we know that Vc = 2 and
its direction is down -> from the end point of straight line, we draw a line
go down to 0 (green).

- After finishing the Q y diagram, we continue to draw M X . We will base on

the shape of Q y to draw the second diagram. Call the intersection between
the incline line (red) with the horizontal line is z. In the quick method
drawing, we have formula: M ¿=¿ M ¿ + (-) SQ (the sign depends on the sign
¿¿ y

of area of shear force Q y . At A, there is not any moment so it starts at 0.

1 3 3 9 2
At z, we have: M Z =M A + 2 × 2 qa × 2 a= 8 q a ( M A =0 and the first triangle
1 qa a 2 9 2
has positive sign). At B, we have M B =M Z − 2 × 2 × 2 =q a ( M Z = 8 q a and
the second triangle has negative sign). Because from A to B have a linear
line in Q y so in M X we draw an outward curve going through three points:
9 2
0, 8 q a , q a2 respectively. At C, we have a moment with 2 q a2 of
 magnitude and because from B to C, there is a straight line => in M X
diagram, we draw a linear line connecting the point q a2∧2 q a2 together.
Moreover, at C, there is a counter-clockwise concentrated moment so
from point2 q a2 , it jumps down to 0 with jump value equals 2 q a2 .

 Solution:
 Explain:
- Firstly, we also find all the reactions as the problem 1.
- Next, we draw Q y diagram. First, at A, we have a reaction of 13.75 kN
and it goes up (black). Then, from A to B, there is a distribution force q
going down with magnitude equals 14x3 = 42 kN. So from A to B, we
draw an inclined line (red) going down from point 13.75 to point 28.25
(42 – 13.75). Next, because there is nothing within BC, so we draw a
straight line from point 28.25 above to C (blue), and we have Vc = 58.25
kN. So from the ending point of the straight line, we draw a vertical line
(yellow) going up to point of 30 (58.25 – 28.25). Within CD, there is
nothing so the line continue go straight from the point 30, moreover, we
still have a force of 30 kN going down at D, so the line will back to 0
(green).

- In the M x diagram, firstly, at A, there is a clockwise concentrated moment

with magnitude is 20, so it jumps up to the point 20. Next, we need to
find the distance from Z to A (called x) and from Z to B (called y) in Q y
13.75 55 x
diagram. Using the portions of similar triangles, have 28.25 = 113 = y ,
55 113
combine with the condition x + y =3, we can solve ¿ 56 ∧ y= 56 . At z,
1 55 11985
we have: M Z =M A + 2 × 13.75× 56 = 448 (≈ 26.75) (with M A =20). At B, we
1 113 −7
have M B =M Z − 2 ×28.25 × 56 = 4 . Because from A to B, there is a linear
line in Q y diagram so that in M x , we can draw an outward curve passing
through three point: 20, 26.75 and -1.75 respectively. At C, we have:
M C =M B −28.25 ×1=−30 (the area of shear force in BC region is a
 rectangular, with the negative sign). Because in Q y diagram, there is a
straight horizontal line from B to C => in M X we draw a linear line from
point -1.75 to point -30. At D, we have: M D =M C +30 ×1=0 , so from the
point -30 at C, we draw a linear line returning to 0 at D.

 Solution:
 Explain:
- Find all the reactions at B and D.
- Next, drawing the Q y diagram, at A, we have a force with magnitude 2qa
and it goes down (black line). Then, there is nothing between A and B so
we draw a horizontal line from the point -2qa to position of B. At B, we
25
have a reaction that equals 8 qa -> we draw a vertical line (red) going up
9 25
to the point 8 qa ( 8 qa−2 qa ¿. Then, there is also nothing between B and
C so we continue with a horizontal line reaching the position of C. At C,
there is a force with qa of magnitude, so from the end point of the
qa
horizontal line, we have a vertical line going down to the point 8 (
9
qa−qa ¿ . Within CD, there exists a distribution force with magnitude
8
qa
equals 2qa, so from the point 8 , we sketch an incline line (orange)
15 qa
reaching the point 8 qa below the Q y axis (2qa - 8 ). Besides, at D, there
23
is a reaction that equals 8 qa, so we draw a vertical line (green) from the
15 23 15
point 8 qa below the axis to the point qa ( 8 qa− 8 qa ¿. And there is also
a distribution force with qa of magnitude within DE -> we draw an
incline line (purple) going down to 0.
- Secondly, we proceed to finish the M x diagram. At A, there is a clockwise
concentrated moment with q a2 of magnitude, so it jumps up with the
value equals q a2. At B, we have: M B =M A−2 qa × a=−q a2 (with M A =q a2),
and we use a linear line to connect two points: q a2∧−q a2 together. At C,
9 5 2
we have: M C =M B + 8 qa ×2 a= 4 q a , then we use an inclined line to
a2 ∧5 2
connect the points −q q a . At z, we have:
4
1 qa a 161 2
M z =M C + × × = q a (Use portions of similar triangles to find the
2 8 8 128
distances from z to C and z to D). At D, we have:
1 15 15 −q a2
M D =M z − × qa × a= (below the M x axis). To connect three
2 8 8 2
2
5 2 161 2 −q a
points 4 q a ,
128
q a and together, we use an outward curve to link
2
1
three of them. At E, we have: M E =M D + 2 × qa × a=0 -> drawing an inward
−q a 2
curve from the point to 0.
