Question

Figure 4 shows a free body diagram of two forces (8 kN and 12 kN respectively) acting on a 10 m long beam. A 6 kN/m UDL acts over a 5 m length as shown. Disregarding the weight of the beam determine the reaction forces RA and RB respectively (6 marks) 8 kN 12 kN 6 kN/m RA RB 2 m 1 m 2 m 3 m 2 m Figure 4: Free body diagram of Forces and reaction forces acting on a beam

Step 1

Step 1: Calculate the total downward force acting on the beam: Total downward force = 8 kN + 12 kN + (6 kN/m * 5 m) = 8 kN + 12 kN + 30 kN = 50 kN Show more…
