Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 4.28
**Description:**
A homogeneous beam \( AB \) weighing 3560 N is shown in the diagram. The beam carries a triangular distributed load. The diagram indicates that the distributed load increases linearly from 0 N/m at point \( A \) to 2335 N/m at point \( B \), over a length of 3.66 meters. The beam is supported at points \( A \) and \( B \).
**Objective:**
The task is to find the reactions at the support points \( A \) and \( B \).
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows a beam positioned horizontally along the x-axis with the left end at point \( A \) and the right end at point \( B \).
- The distributed load is represented by a series of arrows forming a triangular shape above the beam. The height of the arrows increases from left to right, indicating the load increases linearly from point \( A \) to point \( B \).
- The maximum load of 2335 N/m is indicated at point \( B \).
- The length between points \( A \) and \( B \) is labeled as 3.66 meters.
**Objective Clarification:**
- Calculate the vertical and horizontal reactions at each support \( A \) and \( B \), considering both the weight of the beam and the distributed load.
