Consider a beam shown in the figure below. (Figure 1) Express the internal shear in the beam as a function of x for 0≤x≤L/3, and for L/3≤x≤L, and the internal moment in the beam as a function of x for 0≤x≤L/3 and L/3≤x≤L

The beam is an horizontal structure employed for load-bearing in the construction of a complicated structure. Here are some kinds of beams:
- Overhanging beam
- Simply supported beam
- Cantilever beam
Beam:
A beam is a structural member for which loads are applied perpendicularly to its longitudinal axis.
Shear force
The algebraic sum of any lateral forces on either side of a section of a beam’s shear force or internal herar is called the shear force.
Bending moment:
The algebraic sum of all moments around a section of beam that is either bending or internal is called the bending moment.
Sign conventions Shear force and bending moment
These are the conventions that apply to the shear force as well as the bending moment.
The following beam is an example of the AB in which the loads H, F, and QR act as shown in this figure.
Take into account the forces on the left side of section a-a. The shear force, bending moment and shear force are calculated as follows:
Calculation of shear force:
Calculate the shear force by applying vertical force equilibrium.
[katex]\begin{array}{l}\\\sum {{F_y}} = 0\\\\{R_a} – P – F – V = 0\\\\V = {R_a} – P – F\\\end{array}[/katex]
Calculate the bending moment by applying moment equilibrium to section a/a.
[katex]\begin{array}{l}\\\sum {{M_{a – a}}} = 0\\\\M – \left( {F \times {x_1}} \right) – \left( {P \times {x_2}} \right) + \left( {{R_a} \times {x_3}} \right) = 0\\\\M = F{x_1} + P{x_2} – {R_a}{x_3}\\\end{array}[/katex]
Below is the body diagram for the beam.
Use equations of equilibrium to determine the beam.

[katex]{A_y} + {B_y} = \frac{1}{2}{w_0}L[/katex]
Consider the following: B
[katex]\begin{array}{l}\\\sum {{M_B} = 0} \\\\{A_y} \times \frac{{2L}}{3} – \left( {\frac{1}{2} \times L \times {w_0} \times \frac{L}{3}} \right) = 0\\\\{A_y} = \frac{{{w_0}L}}{4}\\\end{array}[/katex]
Taken from equation (1)
[katex]{A_y} + {B_y} = \frac{1}{2}{w_0}L[/katex]
Substitute $equaTag6
[katex]\begin{array}{l}\\\frac{{{w_0}L}}{4} + {B_y} = \frac{1}{2}{w_0}L\\\\{B_y} = \frac{{{w_0}L}}{4}\\\end{array}[/katex]
Use similar triangles to calculate the height H at a distance x from your left end.
[katex]\begin{array}{l}\\\frac{{{w_0}}}{L} = \frac{h}{x}\\\\h = \frac{{{w_0}x}}{L}\\\end{array}[/katex]
