Problem 11.36 - Statically Indeterminate Problems

Problem Statement

A beam of length L₁ = 3 ft and L₂ = 6 ft is subjected to a distributed load w = 250 kip/ft as shown. Determine the reaction force at support B. Assume EI = 20,000 kip-ft².

A simply supported beam of length L1+L2 is subjected to a distributed load w. The distributed load occurs over L2. [Problem adapted from © Kurt Gramoll CC BY NC-SA 4.0]
