Consider an overhanging beam AC under a distributed load, supported at two joints. Construct its bending moment diagram. Draw the free-body diagram of the beam, and by using the equilibrium equations, the reaction forces at each support can be calculated. Apply the method of section to the beam. Next, consider an arbitrary distance x within region AB. The resultant force acts at the midpoint of the section. By using the equilibrium equation on the free-body diagram and substituting the values, the equation of moment is obtained. Similarly, consider an arbitrary point within the region BC. By drawing the free-body diagram and using the equilibrium equation, the moment equation for section BC is determined. Substituting the position values in the moment equations, the bending moment values are calculated. The bending moment diagram shows the graphical representation of the bending moment values along the beam's length. By recalling the moment equation and applying the differentiation method, the local maxima for each section are obtained. The bending moment diagram is obtained by joining these points with parabolic curves.
