Question

The vertical reaction at B is most nearly ____ kN:

The image depicts a structural beam supported at two points and subjected to a uniform distributed load. The load is represented as a series of downward-pointing arrows above the beam, indicating a uniform load of 6 kN/m along its entire length. 

### Explanation of the Diagram:

- **Beam Structure:** A horizontal beam that rests on two supports.
- **Support Points:**
  - **Point A:** A roller support located 3 meters from the left end of the beam, allowing horizontal movement.
  - **Point B:** A pin support located 9 meters from the same end (6 meters from Support A), which restricts vertical and horizontal movement.
- **Distributed Load:**
  - The load is uniformly distributed across the entire length of the beam, denoted as 6 kN/m.
  - The load is represented by a series of vertical arrows pointing downward, symbolizing the direction and nature of the force exerted on the beam.

This structural setup is commonly analyzed in engineering to determine the reactions at the supports and to design the beam for strength and stability under the given loading conditions.
