Question: Current Attempt in Progress A cantilever beam supports the variable load shown. Calculate the supporting force R A and moment M A at A .

Current Attempt in Progress
A cantilever beam supports the variable load shown. Calculate the supporting force RA and moment MA at A. The force RA is positive
if up and negative if down. The moment MA is positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise.
Part 1
Identify the constants w0 and k.
Answers:
w0=,lbft
k=,lbft3
Hint
The equation w=w0+kx2 is applied at both ends of the load.
47=w0+k(0)2.
82=w0+k(20ft)2.
Solve these two equations for w0 and k.
