Example 5 : Determine the reaction for the beam shown in fig.

0.5x 45 X 4=90kN
6 X 20=120 kN 30kN

HA
0.5 x 6=3m
40kN-m RB
VA
6+2/3 x 4=8.67m
FBD of beam AB
Apply the ∑MA= 0 considering clockwise
moment as Positive

+120x3 +8.67x90 +30X 6

+40 –RB X 10 =0;

RB =136.03kN; Check,
Apply ∑Fy=0 considering upward force as positive;
Action = Reaction
Ʃ Fy = VA + RB
RA -120-30-90+RB=0 120 +30+90 = 136.03 +103.97
240 kN =240 kN
Ʃ Fx = HA
RA= 103.97kN 0=0

Apply ∑Fx=0 ; HA=0:
