Step 1
First, let's analyze the forces acting on the beam. We have the weight of the beam acting downwards, which can be represented by a force vector pointing downwards from the center of mass of the beam. Let's call this force vector Fg. Show more…

A uniform beam AB is 3m long and has a mass of 70kg. it is simply supported at the left hand of A and at C which is to the right of A. masses 400kg, 300kg and 200kg are carried at the points 0.6m, 1.8m and 3m to the right of A, respectively find the reaction at each support.
