part d
draw the moment diagrams
click on \add discontinuity\ to add discontinuity lines. then click on \add segment\ button to add functions between the lines.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the shear force

The shear force \( V \) is constant along the length of the beam. Since there is a horizontal force of \( 6\space kN \) acting on the beam, the shear force \( V=- 6\space kN\) (negative sign depending on the sign convention, assuming right - hand rule for positive shear).

Step2: Calculate the bending moment

The bending moment \( M \) at a distance \( x \) from the free end (point \( A \)) is calculated using the formula \( M=\int Vdx\). Since \( V = - 6\space kN\), integrating with respect to \( x \) gives \( M=-6x\space kN\cdot m\)

Answer:

\(M = - 6x\space kN\cdot m\)
