About this task

This task focuses on the static analysis of a simply supported beam under concentrated loads. Students calculate the support reactions, determine the shear force in each beam segment, and construct the bending moment diagram from the calculated internal forces. The exercise reinforces equilibrium equations, interpretation of shear and moment distributions, and the relationship between loading, support reactions, and internal force diagrams. It is intended for mechanics of materials and structural analysis courses.
