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 and .
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.
Next, we sum the moments about point A and set them to zero.
Now, we substitute this value of into the first equation to solve for :
Since , then .
