Question
Draw the free body diagram (on your work file) and enter the reaction at B in the answer box below in pounds to 1 decimal place.
Let w = 212 lb/ft, L1 = 2 ft, L2 = 4 ft, L3 = 4.8 ft

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a structural diagram of a simply supported beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load, denoted by "W".
### Description:
- **Beam**: Illustrated as a horizontal blue line representing the beam structure.
- **Load (W)**: The red arrows pointing downward indicate the uniform distribution of the load across the length of the beam from left to right.
### Supports:
- **Support A**: Located at position "A", represented by a triangle, indicating a pinned support.
- **Support B**: Located at position "B", depicted as a half-circle, representing a roller support.
### Dimensions:
- **L1**: The horizontal distance between the left end of the beam and Support A.
- **L2**: The length of the beam between Support A and Support B.
- **L3**: The horizontal distance from Support B to the right end of the beam.
This diagram is typically used in structural engineering to analyze the reactions at the supports and the internal forces within the beam.
