First we need to focus the 2.5 kips/ft over a more direct location, this is done by
multiplying it by the total distance and then using half of it as so:
A=Rb x 206012=
Rb20720
720
=36
20
So Rb=36 kip
Ra+ Rb=60
6036=24
So Ra=24 kip
2.
Here first we need to take our w = 6 kN/m and focus the force more so:
64=24 kn
A=rb7361.5245
Rb754120
Rb7+174
174
=24.86
7
RB=24.86 kN
Now we can find Ra:
Ra+ Rb=60
6024.86=35.14
RA=35.14 kN
3.
B=RA15+85+108+204
RA15+ 40+80+ 80
RA15+ 200
200
=13.33
15
RA=13.33 kips
RA+ RB=20
2013.33=6.67
RB=6.67 kips
4.
For this equation, (as the hint stated) we use 1/3 and 2/3 of the length to find the
answer so the 36 kN will be focused 6m from A and 3m from B.
Lets solve for RA first:
RA=
36
=54
6( 9)
RA=54 kN
Now lets solve for RB:
36
=108
3 (9)
RB=108 kN
RB=
