Q2) Find the reactions at supports at A and B of the loaded beam shown in the figure:




Q3) A beam AB 20m long supported on two intermediate supports 12 m apart, carries a UDL of 6 kN/m
and two concentrated loads of 30 kN at left end A and 50 kN at the right end B. How far away should the
first support C be located from the end A so that the reactions at both the supports are equal?
Q4) Find the reactions at points A, B and D of the system shown in the figure. Neglect the self weight of
the members.




Q5) The beams AB and CF are arranged as shown in the figure. Determine the reactions at points A, C
and D due to the forces acting on the beam as shown in the figure.
