4.27 Determine the reactions at supports A and B of the beam shown. Neglect the weight of the beam.

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 4.27**
**Objective:** Determine the reactions at supports A and B of the beam shown. Neglect the weight of the beam.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The beam is horizontally supported at point A by a pin support and at point B by a roller support.
- The beam is subjected to two external forces:
- An 800 lb force inclined at 60 degrees to the horizontal, located 3 feet from point A.
- A 500 lb vertical force located 5 feet from the 800 lb force, and 3 feet from point B.
- Point A offers both horizontal and vertical reaction forces due to the pin support.
- Point B, with the roller support, only provides a reaction force perpendicular to the inclined surface.
- A right triangle is shown at point B with legs of 3 and 4, indicating the incline's angle with the horizontal.
**Dimensional Details:**
- The distances between the forces and supports are clearly marked:
- From point A to the 800 lb force: 3 feet.
- Between the 800 lb force and 500 lb force: 5 feet.
- From the 500 lb force to point B: 3 feet.
The aim is to calculate the reaction forces at A and B, considering these details and neglecting the weight of the beam itself.
