MCD=–24x+144 kNm
1. In segment AB, the shear is uniformly distributed over the segment at a magnitude of –30 kN.
2. In segment BC, the shear is uniformly distributed at a magnitude of 26 kN.
3. In segment CD, the shear is uniformly distributed at a magnitude of –24 kN.
1. The equation MAB = –30x is linear, at x = 0, MAB = 0 and at x = 1 m, MAB = –30 kN·m.
2. MBC = 26x – 56 is also linear. At x = 1 m, MBC = –30 kN·m; at x = 4 m, MBC = 48 kN·m.
When MBC = 0, x = 2.154 m, thus the moment is zero at 1.154 m from B. This point where
bending moment is changing sign is called POINT OF CONTRAFLEXURE.
3. MCD = –24x + 144 is again linear. At x = 4 m, MCD = 48 kN·m; at x = 6 m, MCD = 0.
These must be on the same page and one above the other in the order shown.
(i) Where shear force changes sign are the points of maximum bending moment clear from
SFD and BMD.
(ii) Numerically highest will be maximum shear force from SFD
(iii)Numerically highest will be maximum bending moment from BMD

HEAR FORCE DIAGRAM AND BENDING MOMENT DIAGRAMS IN THE SHORTEST WAY
NOTE: When a concentrated force acts downward then the shear force diagram will jump
downward at that particular point. When a concentrated force acts upwards then the shear force
diagram will jump upward at that particular point. The UDL will be with an inclined line.
•When a moment M is applied clockwise on left, the moment diagram will jump upward. When M
acts counterclockwise on left, the moment diagram will jump downward. The points of
concentrated loads are joined by straight lines and UDL by smooth curves.
