Shear and Bending Moment Diagrams (example continued)

Here’s the shear force distribution along the beam from 0 ≤ x ≤ L.

Here’s the bending moment distribution along the beam from 0 ≤ x ≤ L.

Notice that the bending moment is zero at both ends of the beam. This result is in agreement with the boundary conditions for a pin at A and a roller at C. These supports cannot carry a moment.
