Question

Find forces Ay, Ax, Ey, and Cy and the moment about A.  

The diagram illustrates a beam supported at points \(A\), \(C\), and \(E\). Here's a detailed description:

- The beam spans a total distance of 18 meters on the x-axis, with specific segments marked at intervals.
- Point \(A\) is at the leftmost end of the beam, supported by a wall. The distance from \(A\) to \(B\) is 3 meters.
- The section between \(B\) and \(C\) is 4 meters long. Between \(C\) and \(D\), the distance is 2 meters. 
- From \(D\) to \(E\), the distance is 6 meters; and finally, from \(E\) to the end of the beam is another 3 meters.
- A distributed load of 3 kN/m is applied along the segment from point \(A\) to point \(B\).
- A point load \(F_1\) is applied at the right end of the beam.
- Supports are located at points \(A\), \(C\), and \(E\).

In the diagram, there is also an xy-coordinate system, with the x-axis running along the length of the beam and the y-axis perpendicular to it. This setup is typically used in mechanical or civil engineering to analyze forces and moments acting on the beam.
