### Structural Beam Analysis Diagram

This diagram presents a structural analysis scenario involving a beam subjected to multiple forces and moments. There is a coordinate system with axes labeled \(x\) and \(y\).

#### Beam Description:
- **Beam Sections:**
  - A diagonal section connected to point \(A\) at the base, inclined at an angle of \(60^\circ\) to the horizontal.
  - A horizontal section measuring 3 meters in length, supported by a hinge connection to the diagonal section.

#### Forces Applied:
- **Vertical Loads:**
  - Three concentrated vertical forces of \(200 \, \text{N}\) each are applied at evenly spaced intervals (1 meter apart) along the horizontal beam section.
  
- **Angle and Direction of the Force:**
  - A \(400 \, \text{N}\) force is applied at the end of the horizontal section at a \(30^\circ\) angle from the horizontal.

#### Connection Points:
- **Fixed Support:**
  - Point \(A\) at the base where the diagonal section of the beam is fixed.
- **Hinge/Joint Connection:**
  - A hinge connects the diagonal and horizontal beam sections, allowing for rotational movement between these sections.
  
This diagram can be used for educational purposes to study reactions at beams, moment calculations, and structural stability in engineering mechanics.
