Step 1
- The beam is supported by a fixed support at point A and a roller support at B. - There is a force of 200 N acting downward at point B. - A mass of 50 kg is placed on the beam, which also exerts a downward force due to gravity. - The total length of the beam is Show more…

The beam shown below is supported by a roller at point B and by a pinned joint at point E. Determine the support forces at points B
Marinus K.
The figure B1 shows a horizontal beam with a length of 9m. It is roller supported at A and pin supported at F. The beam carries a point load of 19kN inclined at 45° to the beam at B, a vertical point load of 12.5 kN at E, and a uniformly distributed load of 1.5 kN/m between C and D. Ignoring the weight of the beam itself, calculate: a) The vertical and horizontal components of the 19kN force acting at B. b) The horizontal reaction force acting at F. c) The vertical reaction force acting at A. d) The vertical reaction force acting at F. e) The magnitude and direction of the resultant force experienced at F.
