Consider the compound beam shown in Follow the sign convention. Draw the shear diagram for the beam. Click on "add vertical line off" to add discontinuity lines. Then click on "add segment" button to add functions between the lines. Note 1 - You should not draw an "extra" discontinuity line at the point where the shear curve passes the \( \mathbf{x} \) axis. Note 2 - The curve you choose from the drop-down is only a pictorial representation of a real quadratic/cubic curve. The equation of this curve is not mathematically equivalent to the correct answer. Consequently, slopes at discontinuities and intercepts with the \( x \)-axis (if any) are not accurate. Note 3 - Make sure you place only one vertical line at places that require a vertical line. If you inadvertently place 2 vertical lines at the same place, it will appear correct visually because the lines overlap, but the system will mark it wrong.
