Reaction at point A + reaction at point B = Constant (C1)

4.11: Calculate the moment w.r.t point A, i.e. it will give
magnitude
/reaction at point B
4.12: Reaction at point A = constant (C1) reaction at point B
4.13: Display (the reactions at point A and point B), go to step
4.14
4.14: go to step 6
