Calculate the reactions at the supports of a beam

1. A beam is in equilibrium when it is stationary relative to an inertial reference frame. The following conditions
are satisfied when a beam, acted upon by a system of forces and moments, is in equilibrium:
Fx = 0: HA + P1*cos(60) = 0
MA = 0: The sum of the moments about a point A is zero:
- q1*6*(6/2) - P1*sin(60)*2 + RB*5 = 0
MB = 0: The sum of the moments about a point B is zero:
- RA*5 + q1*6*(5 - 6/2) + P1*sin(60)*3 = 0
2. Solve this system of equations:
HA = - P1*cos(60) = - 15*0.5000 = -7.50 (kN)
Calculate reaction of roller support about point B:
RB = ( q1*6*(6/2) + P1*sin(60)*2) / 5 = ( 4*6*(6/2) + 15*sin(60)*2) / 5 = 19.60 (kN)
Calculate reaction of pin support about point A:
RA = ( q1*6*(5 - 6/2) + P1*sin(60)*3) / 5 = ( 4*6*(5 - 6/2) + 15*sin(60)*3) / 5 = 17.39 (kN)
3. The sum of the forces is zero: Fy = 0: RA - q1*6 - P1*sin(60) + RB = 17.39 - 4*6 - 15*sin(60) + 19.60 = 0

Draw diagrams for the beam

First span of the beam: 0 x1 < 2

Determine the equations for the shear force (Q):

Q(x1) = + RA - q1*(x1 - 0)
Q1(0) = + 17.39 - 4*(0 - 0) = 17.39 (kN)
Q1(2) = + 17.39 - 4*(2 - 0) = 9.39 (kN)
Determine the equations for the bending moment (M):
M(x1) = + RA*(x1) - q1*(x1)2/2
M1(0) = + 17.39*(0) - 4*(0 - 0)2/2 = 0 (kN*m)
M1(2) = + 17.39*(2) - 4*(2 - 0)2/2 = 26.79 (kN*m)

Determine the equations for the shear force (Q):

Q(x2) = + RA - q1*(x2 - 0) - P1*sin(60)
Q2(2) = + 17.39 - 4*(2 - 0) - 12.99*sin(60) = -3.60 (kN)
Q2(5) = + 17.39 - 4*(5 - 0) - 12.99*sin(60) = -15.60 (kN)
Determine the equations for the bending moment (M):
M(x2) = + RA*(x2) - q1*(x2)2/2 - P1*(x2 - 2)*sin(60)
M2(2) = + 17.39*(2) - 4*(2 - 0)2/2 - 15*(2 - 2)*sin(60) = 26.79 (kN*m)
M2(5) = + 17.39*(5) - 4*(5 - 0)2/2 - 15*(5 - 2)*sin(60) = -2 (kN*m)

Third span of the beam: 5 x3 < 6

Determine the equations for the shear force (Q):

Q(x3) = + RA - q1*(x3 - 0) - P1*sin(60) + RB
Q3(5) = + 17.39 - 4*(5 - 0) - 12.99*sin(60) + 19.60 = 4 (kN)
Q3(6) = + 17.39 - 4*(6 - 0) - 12.99*sin(60) + 19.60 = 0 (kN)
Determine the equations for the bending moment (M):
M(x3) = + RA*(x3) - q1*(x3)2/2 - P1*(x3 - 2)*sin(60) + RB*(x3 - 5)
M3(5) = + 17.39*(5) - 4*(5 - 0)2/2 - 15*(5 - 2)*sin(60) + 19.60*(5 - 5) = -2 (kN*m)
M3(6) = + 17.39*(6) - 4*(6 - 0)2/2 - 15*(6 - 2)*sin(60) + 19.60*(6 - 5) = 0 (kN*m)

Fourth span of the beam: 6 x4 < 8

Determine the equations for the shear force (Q):

Q(x4) = + RA - q1*(6 - 0) - P1*sin(60) + RB
Q4(6) = + 17.39 - 4*(6 - 0) - 12.99*sin(60) + 19.60 = 0 (kN)
Q4(8) = + 17.39 - 4*(6 - 0) - 12.99*sin(60) + 19.60 = 0 (kN)
Determine the equations for the bending moment (M):
M(x4) = + RA*(x4) - q1*(6 - 0)*[(x4 - 6) + (6 - 0)/2] - P1*(x4 - 2)*sin(60) + RB*(x4 - 5)
M4(6) = + 17.39*(6) - 4*6*(0 + 3) - 15*(6 - 2)*sin(60) + 19.60*(6 - 5) = 0 (kN*m)
M4(8) = + 17.39*(8) - 4*6*(2 + 3) - 15*(8 - 2)*sin(60) + 19.60*(8 - 5) = 0 (kN*m)
