The beam supports the distributed load caused by the sandbags. Determine the resultant force on the beam and specify its location measured from point A.
Units Used:
kN = { 10 }^{ 3 } N
Given:
{ w }_{ 1 } = 1.5 \frac { kN }{ m } \quad a = 3 m
{ w }_{ 2 } = 1 \frac { kN }{ m } \quad b = 3 m
{ w }_{ 3 } = 2.5 \frac { kN }{ m } \quad c = 1.5 m
