# Problem 4.32: Beam Reaction Calculation

**Objective:**
Calculate the reactions at each support for the beam shown. Neglect the weight of the beam.

**Problem Description:**

- A beam is subjected to a point load and a uniform distributed load.
- A point load of \(3 \, \text{kN}\) is applied at the left end of the beam.
- A uniform distributed load of \(900 \, \text{N/m}\) is applied over the entire length of the beam.

**Beam Configuration:**

- **Support A**: 
  - Located 4 meters from the left end.
  - Shown as a triangular support.
- **Support B**: 
  - Located 10 meters from the left end (6 meters from Support A).
  - Shown as a circular support.

**Dimensions:**

- Distance from the left end to Support A is 4 meters.
- Distance between Support A and Support B is 6 meters.

### Diagram Explanation

- The beam is horizontal, with downward arrows indicating the applied loads.
- The point load is represented by a single downward arrow labeled \(3 \, \text{kN}\).
- The uniform distributed load is represented by multiple downward arrows evenly spaced along the beam.
- Supports are indicated by symbols beneath the beam: a triangle for a fixed support at A and a circle for a roller support at B. 

Given this setup, determine the reactions at supports A and B.
