Gere & Goodno — Shear Forces and Bending Moments: Problem R-4.6

R-4.6 A simple beam (\(L = 9\text{ m}\)) with attached bracket \(BDE\) has force \(P = 5\text{ kN}\) applied downward at \(E\). The bending moment just right of \(B\) is approximately: (A) \(6\text{ kN}\cdot\text{m}\) (B) \(10\text{ kN}\cdot\text{m}\) (C) \(19\text{ kN}\cdot\text{m}\) (D) \(22\text{ kN}\cdot\text{m}\)
