1. Problem Description

The problem shows a simply supported beam with a point load F applied at a distance a from support A and b from support B. The diagrams below show the shear force and bending moment diagrams. The goal is likely to determine the support reactions FAF_A and FBF_B.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to apply equilibrium equations to find the support reactions. The sum of the forces in the vertical direction must be zero.
FA+FBF=0F_A + F_B - F = 0
FA+FB=FF_A + F_B = F
Next, we sum the moments about point A and set them to zero.
MA=0\sum M_A = 0
FBlFa=0F_B * l - F * a = 0
FB=FalF_B = \frac{F * a}{l}
Now, we substitute this value of FBF_B into the first equation to solve for FAF_A:
FA+Fal=FF_A + \frac{F * a}{l} = F
FA=FFalF_A = F - \frac{F * a}{l}
FA=FlFalF_A = \frac{F*l - F*a}{l}
Since a+b=la+b = l, then la=bl - a = b.
FA=FblF_A = \frac{F*b}{l}

3. Final Answer

FA=FblF_A = \frac{F*b}{l}
FB=FalF_B = \frac{F*a}{l}
