Solution

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to draw diagrams or see the beam you're referring to. However, I can guide you on how to approach this problem.

i) To draw a free body diagram, you would start by sketching the beam and marking the given loads and distances. You would also include the reaction forces at the supports, which are usually denoted by R.

ii) To calculate the reactions, you would use the equations of equilibrium, which state that the sum of the forces and the sum of the moments in any direction should be zero.

iii) To calculate the internal forces at specific points, you would need to make 'cuts' at these points and consider the equilibrium of the section of the beam to the left or right of the cut.

iv) To sketch the shear force and bending moment diagrams, you would plot the values of the shear force and bending moment along the length of the beam. The shear force diagram is usually a series of straight lines, while the bending moment diagram is a curve.

Remember that the axial force is the force component parallel to the longitudinal axis of the beam, the shear force is the force component perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the beam, and the bending moment is the tendency of the beam to rotate about a cross-sectional axis.

Please consult your textbook or class notes for more detailed instructions and examples.

To solve this problem, we need to use the concepts of shear stress in beams and the location of the shear center. ### Part (i): Shear Stress at Points A, B, and the Neutral AxisThe shear stress (\(\tau\)) in a beam is given by: \[ \tau = \frac{VQ}{It} \] where: - \(V\) is the shear force. - \(Q\) is the first moment of area about the neutral axis. - \(I\) is the second moment of area (moment of inertia). - \(t\) is the thickness of the section at the point where the shear stress is being calculated. Given: - \(V = 11 \, \text{kN} = 11000 \, \text{N}\) - \(I = 5.626 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}^4\) - Thickness at point A (\(t_A\)) = 4 mm- Thickness at point B (\(t_B\)) = 4 mm#### Shear Stress at Point ATo find \(Q\) at point A, we need to consider the area above point A: \[ Q_A = \text{Area} \times \text{distance from centroid of area to neutral axis} \] The area above point A is a rectangle with height 150 mm and width 4 mm: \[ \text{Area} = 150 \, \text{mm} \times 4 \, \text{mm} = 600 \, \text{mm}^2\] The distance from the centroid of this area to the neutral axis is: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{150 \, \text{mm}}{2} = 75 \, \text{mm} \] So, \[ Q_A = 600 \, \text{mm}^2 \times 75 \, \text{mm} = 45000 \, \text{mm}^3\] Now, calculate the shear stress at point A: \[ \tau_A = \frac{11000 \, \text{N} \times 45000 \, \text{mm}^3}{5.626 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}^4 \times 4 \, \text{mm}} = \frac{495000000 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{mm}}{22504 \, \text{mm}^4} = 21998.2 \, \text{N/mm}^2 = 22 \, \text{MPa} \] #### Shear Stress at Point BTo find \(Q\) at point B, we need to consider the area to the left of point B: \[ Q_B = \text{Area} \times \text{distance from centroid of area to neutral axis} \] The area to the left of point B is a rectangle with height 150 mm and width 4 mm: \[ \text{Area} = 150 \, \text{mm} \times 4 \, \text{mm} = 600 \, \text{mm}^2\] The distance from the centroid of this area to the neutral axis is: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{150 \, \text{mm}}{2} = 75 \, \text{mm} \] So, \[ Q_B = 600 \, \text{mm}^2 \times 75 \, \text{mm} = 45000 \, \text{mm}^3\] Now, calculate the shear stress at point B: \[ \tau_B = \frac{11000 \, \text{N} \times 45000 \, \text{mm}^3}{5.626 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}^4 \times 4 \, \text{mm}} = \frac{495000000 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{mm}}{22504 \, \text{mm}^4} = 21998.2 \, \text{N/mm}^2 = 22 \, \text{MPa} \] #### Shear Stress at the Neutral AxisAt the neutral axis, the shear stress is maximum. The first moment of area \(Q\) at the neutral axis is the sum of the first moments of the areas above and below the neutral axis. \[ Q_{\text{neutral}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Area} \times \text{distance from centroid
