Question

how to draw a shear force diagram

Answer 1

There are various methods of drawing shear force and bending moment diagram for a beam . The selection of suitable method depends on the degree of indeterminacy of the beam . Strength of materials deals with this drawing of shear force and bending moment diagram for statically determinate beam , where as the methods of drawing SF and BM diagrams for statically indeterminate beams are mentioned in structural analysis.
