Problem 2 The overhanging beam \( A D \) is used to support the crate that has been placed between points \( C \) and \( D \) as shown. The crate's total weight of 10 kN is uniformly distributed over the length \( L_{c} \). The reaction at the bearing support \( B \) can also be treated as a uniformly distributed load acting on the beam. Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam \( A D \). Let \( L_{l}=3.25 \mathrm{~m} \) and \( L_{c}=2 \mathrm{~m} \). Note: You may use either method (analytical or graphical) to draw the shear and moment diagrams. ANSWER:- The shear force diagram should only have constant and linear regions, while the bending moment diagram should only have linear and quadratic regions.
