1. Shames (13.10 Text) Problem 10.34. repeated here for info: Find the supporting forces
for the simply supported beam in figure. Then sketch the shear-force and bending
moment diagrams, labeling key points. 1K = 1000 lbs

a) Determine reaction forces at the ends
b) Plot shear-force and bending moment diagrams
c) Model the distributed load as a set of four concentrated loads determined by integrating
over each quarter length. Locate the load at the mid length of each segment. I.e.

Comment on the static equivalency of this model of the distributed load (is it equivalent in force
and moment?)
d) Plot shear-force and bending moment diagram for this loading. Comment on the
comparison with b) above.

Not shown in the drawing are the five longitudinal stiffeners equally spaced along each strake.
Take note of the girders on the centerline. Assume all structural material is mild strength steel
and the vessel is in salt water.
