Step 1
First, we need to find the total force acting on the beam. To do this, we can integrate the distributed loads over the length of the beam. The distributed load of 5 kN/m can be represented by a concentrated force of 5 kN acting at the midpoint of the load, which Show more…

Replace the distributed loading with an equivalent resultant force FR, and specify its location (x) on the beam measured from point A. a) FR = 0.25 L w0 x = 0.5 L b) FR = 0.5 L w0 x = 0.5 L c) FR = 0.5 L w0 x = 5/12 L d) FR = 0.25 L w0 x = 5/12 L
