Question
**Problem 5.61 and 5.62**

**Objective:**
Determine (a) the magnitude and location of the resultant of the distributed load, (b) the reactions at the beam supports.

**Description:**

A beam, marked as AB, is horizontally placed with a fixed support at point A. The beam is subject to a triangular distributed load that starts from 600 N/m at point A and decreases linearly to 240 N/m at point B.

**Specifications:**

- The beam extends 6.2 meters in total, with a section of 2 meters from point A to a transition point, followed by 4.2 meters to point B.
- The load is distributed along its length, decreasing from 600 N/m to 240 N/m.

**Figure:**
- The diagram (Fig. P5.61) shows the beam AB with support at A and a triangular distributed load decreasing from left to right across the beam.

**Task:**
- Calculate the resultant force of this distributed load and its point of application.
- Determine the reactions at the support points of the beam.
