Question: To calculate the internal normal force, shear force, and bending moment at a point in a beam. A beam with length L = 2 .

To calculate the internal normal force, shear force, and bending moment at a point in a beam.
A beam with length L
=2.9m is supported by a pin joint at A and a cable attached at C as shown in (Figure 1). It is subjected to the distributed load with w1=1.8kN/m and w2=2.6kN/m . The angle between the cable and the beam is =30. Determine the normal force, shear force, and bending moment acting at point B, located x =0.9m to the left of the end of the beam.
Part A
Begin by finding the support reactions for the beam using the free-body diagram shown in (Figure 2). What is the tension in the cable?
