Question 31 An 8m long beam AB is subjected to distributed loadings as shown in the following diagram. The beam is supported by a roller at A and a pin at B. w(x)=7 kNm 1 wix) 5.5 kNm B 3m 8m a. Replace each distributed loading by an equivalent resultant force and determine their locations as measured from the point A. Section 1: 0sxs3m Section 2 3≤x≤8m b. Sketch the position of the two replacement loads on the following diagram. Use vector arrows to represent the replacement loads and show their magnitude and their positions by distances relative to A and B. 8 m c. Calculate the resultant moment of the two equivalent forces about A. d. Calculate the resultant R of the two replacement forces. e. Replace these two equivalent forces for the two distributed loads with a single equivalent resultant force R and determine where the single resultant force's line of action intersects the beam, measured from A.
