Consider the beam in Figure P2a, which is supported by a roller at A and a pin at B. There are two point forces P=2500 N and Q=550 N acting on the beam. Here, L=2 m. Assume the height of the beam is negligible.a) Determine the vertical reaction force at support A. Use a positive value to indicate an upward force and a negative value to indicate a downward force. Provide your answer in N to at least 4 decimal places. [2 marks]Vertical reaction force at support A [N]= b) Determine the vertical reaction force at support B. Use a positive value to indicate an upward force and a negative value to indicate a downward force. Provide your answer in N to at least 4 decimal places. [2 marks]Vertical reaction force at support B [N]= c) Determine the horizontal reaction force at support B. Use a positive value to indicate a rightward force and a negative value to indicate a leftward force. Provide your answer in N to at least 4 decimal places. [2 marks]Horizontal reaction force at support B [N]= Consider now P and Q are removed from the system and replaced by a uniform distributed load of w={1300} N/m on the left-half of the beam and a non-uniform distributed load on the right-half of the beam starting from w={1300} N/m and decreasing to 0 N/m at B, as shown in Figure P2b.Figure P2b. A beam system with uniform and non-uniform distributed loads.d) Determine the total magnitude of the equivalent point force from the uniform and non-uniform distributed loads. i.e. The addition of the two equivalent point forces. Provide your answer in N to at least 4 decimal places. [1 mark]Magnitude of the total equivalent point force [N]= e) Determine the position x (measured from point A) of the total equivalent point force calculated in part (d) that is required to provide the same reactions from the uniform and non-uniform loadings shown in Figure 2b.[2 marks]
