Conclusion
1. What is common about the location of the maximum moment along the beam in each loading case?
it occours at the same point that the force is applied to the beam.
2. Note that loading case #3 is a combination of loading cases #1 and #2. What is the relationship between the maximum shear and maximum moment for loading cases #1, #2, and #3? For loading cases #2, #4, and #5?
3. Can you identify similarities and differences in the shear and moment diagrams for these loading cases?

- What happens to the shear diagram at a concentrated load?
- What happens in the shear diagram when a uniform load is applied?
- What shape is the moment diagram when a single concentrated load is applied? Where is the maximum moment?
- What shape is the moment diagram when a uniform load is applied? Where does the maximum moment occur?
