The beam below is subjected to a distributed load. The distribution of the load is given as w = mx^2 kN/m. Determine the Reaction forces at the supports. Follow the following steps. i) Find the resultant force ii) Find the location centroid of the resultant force (only x-location). Use integration method and iii) Use the answers from (i) and (ii), and FBD to find the reaction forces at the supports. Please draw necessary diagram(s). (25 points) w = 2x^2 kN/m wo = 8 kN/m 2 m
