An 8-meter long horizontal beam is supported to the left end by a fixed support and supported to the right end by a roller support. A uniformly varying load from 0 at the left end to 50 kN/m at the right end is applied onto the beam. Assume that the vertical reaction at the roller support is 165% of the vertical reaction at the fixed support. Calculate for the location of the maximum bending moment (in meters) from the right support. Input to the nearest two decimal places.

An 8-meter long horizontal beam is supported to the left end by a fixed support and supported to the right end by
a roller support. A uniformly varying load from 0 at the left end to 50 kN/m at the right end is applied onto the
beam. Assume that the vertical reaction at the roller support is 165% of the vertical reaction at the fixed support.
Calculate for the location of the maximum bending moment (in meters) from the right support. Input to the nearest
two decimal places.
