a) Calculate the vertical shear specific to that member at appropriate intervals across the length of the free-body diagram. Be sure to solve for locations where shear passes through zero. b) Draw the related shear diagram.
Extracted text: (a) On each sheet of engineering paper reserved for analysis, calculate the vertical shear specific to that member at appropriate intervals across the length of the free-body diagram. Be sure to solve for locations where shear passes through zero. (b) On each sheet of engineering paper containing the free-body diagram, neatly draw the related shear diagram directly below the associated free-body diagram. The shear diagram should be located in the middle one-third of the page. Reserve the bottom one-third of the sheet for the bending moment diagram introduced in Chap- ter 12. Be sure to show locations where shear passes through zero. w = 260 ib/ft 16 FE R Rg Free-body diagram
