To solve the problem step by step, we will first summarize the known conditions and then proceed with the calculations.

### Known Conditions:
- Length of the beam $$ L = 10 \, \text{m} $$
- Point loads:
  - $$ F_B = 50 \, \text{N} $$ at $$ B $$ (2 m from $$ A $$)
  - $$ F_E = 30 \, \text{N} $$ at $$ E $$ (8 m from $$ A $$)
- Distance from $$ A $$ to $$ B $$: $$ A B = 2 \, \text{m} $$
- Distance from $$ D $$ to $$ E $$: $$ D E = 2 \, \text{m} $$
- Uniformly distributed load (UDL): $$ w = 2 \, \text{N/m} $$ between $$ A $$ and $$ D $$ (which is 6 m long)

### Step 1: Calculate the Reaction Forces at Supports $$ A $$ and $$ D $$

1. **Calculate the total load on the beam:**
   - Total point loads: $$ F_B + F_E = 50 \, \text{N} + 30 \, \text{N} = 80 \, \text{N} $$
   - Total UDL: $$ w \times \text{length} = 2 \, \text{N/m} \times 6 \, \text{m} = 12 \, \text{N} $$
   - Total load $$ W = 80 \, \text{N} + 12 \, \text{N} = 92 \, \text{N} $$

2. **Set up the equilibrium equations:**
   - Sum of vertical forces: $$ R_A + R_D - W = 0 $$
   - Taking moments about point $$ A $$:
     $$
     \sum M_A = 0 \Rightarrow R_D \times 8 - 50 \times 2 - 30 \times 8 - 12 \times 3 = 0
     $$

3. **Calculate $$ R_D $$:**
   - $$ R_D \times 8 = 100 + 240 + 36 $$
   - $$ R_D \times 8 = 376 $$
   - $$ R_D = \frac{376}{8} = 47 \, \text{N} $$

4. **Calculate $$ R_A $$:**
   - From the vertical forces equation:
   $$
   R_A + 47 - 92 = 0 \Rightarrow R_A = 92 - 47 = 45 \, \text{N}
   $$

### Step 2: Calculate the Bending Moments at Points $$ B $$, $$ D $$, and $$ C $$

1. **Bending Moment at $$ B $$:**
   - Moment at $$ B $$ due to $$ R_A $$ and $$ F_E $$:
   $$
   M_B = R_A \times 2 - F_E \times (8 - 2) = 45 \times 2 - 30 \times 6
   $$
   $$
   M_B = 90 - 180 = -90 \, \text{N m}
   $$

2. **Bending Moment at $$ D $$:**
   - Moment at $$ D $$ due to $$ R_A $$ and $$ F_B $$:
   $$
   M_D = R_A \times 6 - F_B \times (6) - \text{UDL moment}
   $$
   - UDL moment (acting at the center of the UDL):
   $$
   \text{UDL moment} = 12 \times 3 = 36 \, \text{N m}
   $$
   $$
   M_D = 45 \times 6 - 50 \times 4 - 36 = 270 - 200 - 36 = 34 \, \text{N m}
   $$

3. **Bending Moment at $$ C $$ (halfway between $$ B $$ and $$ D $$):**
   - Distance from $$ A $$ to $$ C $$ is $$ 4 \, \text{m} $$:
   $$
   M_C = R_A \times 4 - F_B \times (4 - 2) - \text{UDL moment}
   $$
   $$
   M_C = 45 \times 4 - 50 \times 2 - 12 \times 2 = 180 - 100 - 24 = 56 \, \text{N m}
   $$

### Step 3: Draw the Bending Moment and Shearing Force Diagrams

1. **Shear Force Diagram:**
   - From $$ A $$ to $$ B $$: $$ V = R_A = 45 \, \text{N} $$
   - At $$ B $$: $$ V = 45 - 50 = -5 \, \text{N} $$
   - From $$ B $$ to $$ D $$: $$ V = -5 \, \text{N} $$ (constant)
   - At $$ D $$: $$ V = -5 + 30 = 25 \, \text{N} $$
   - From $$ D $$ to $$ E $$: $$ V = 25 - 12 = 13 \, \text{N} $$
   - At $$ E $$: $$ V = 13 - 30 = -17 \, \text{N} $$

2. **Bending Moment Diagram:**
   - At $$ A $$: $$ M = 0 $$
   - At $$ B $$: $$ M = -90 \, \text{N m} $$
   - At $$ C $$: $$ M = 56 \, \text{N m} $$
   - At $$ D $$: $$ M = 34 \, \text{N m} $$
   - At $$ E $$: $$ M = 0 $$

### Summary of Results:
- Reaction Forces: $$ R_A = 45 \, \text{N}, R_D = 47 \, \text{N} $$
- Bending Moments: $$ M_B = -90 \, \text{N m}, M_C = 56 \, \text{N m}, M_D = 34 \, \text{N m} $$

### Diagrams:
- The diagrams can be drawn based on the calculated values, indicating the shear forces and bending moments at the respective points along the beam.
