A simply supported beam of span 4 m carries a point load 10 kN

A simply supported beam of span 4 m carries a point load 10 kN at a distance of 1 m from left support. Find the reactions at the supports

SOLUTION: Total load = 10kN Taking moments about A RB ×4=10×1 RB= 10 / 4 = 2.5kN RA= 10 – 2.5 = 7.5kN Taking moments about B’ RA x 4= 10 x 3 RA = 30/4 = 7.5 kN
