Task 3: Consider the loaded beam below. A 500 N -3m- -5 m. B 1000 N/m 5 m C The beam is subjected to a point load of 500 N and a distributed load of 1000 N/m, as indicated in the diagram. The weight of the beam is 2000 N and may be considered as a 2 kN point load acting down- wards at the middle of the beam. a) Determine the equivalent force of the distributed load. b) Sketch the beam with all the applied forces (including reaction and equivalent forces) at the correct position on the beam. c) Evaluate the values of the reaction forces at supports A and C, assuming the beam is in equilibrium.
