**Beam Support Reaction Calculation**

Determine the reactions at the supports of the beam which is loaded as shown. Assume \( w_1 = 660 \, \text{N/m} \), \( w_2 = 400 \, \text{N/m} \), \( a = 6.6 \, \text{m} \), \( b = 1.2 \, \text{m} \).

### Diagram Explanation

The provided diagram represents a simply supported beam with point \( A \) at the left support and point \( B \) at the right support. The beam experiences a triangular distributed load starting with an intensity of \( w_1 \) at \( A \) and reducing linearly to \( w_2 \) over a distance \( a \). Beyond \( a \), a uniform load of intensity \( w_2 \) continues for an additional distance \( b \).

- \( A \): Left support with vertical reaction \( A_y \).
- \( B \): Right support with vertical reaction \( B_y \).

### Given Values:

- \( w_1 = 660 \, \text{N/m} \)
- \( w_2 = 400 \, \text{N/m} \)
- \( a = 6.6 \, \text{m} \)
- \( b = 1.2 \, \text{m} \)

### Required:

Calculate the reactions at supports \( A \) and \( B \).

### Answers:

- \( A_x = 0 \, \text{N} \)
- \( A_y = 1897 \, \text{N} \)
- \( B_y = 2560 \, \text{N} \)
