$8\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}14.$ a$.$ Use the information in Appendix A$3\mathrm{.}1$ to determine the point load and its location $($centroid$)$ that are equivalent to the line load in E$8\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}14.$

b$.$ Determine the loads acting on the beam at the wall if the beam is in equilibrium. Assume that the weight of the beam is negligible.
