Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
For the beam shown, find the vertical shear at joint B. Show your work.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram depicts a simply supported beam, which is subjected to distributed loads. The beam is supported at two points: a pin support at point A on the left and a roller support at point C on the right.
- The left section of the beam, from A to B (2.5 m long), carries a uniform distributed load of 100 kN/m.
- The right section, from B to C (3.5 m long), carries a distributed load of 60 kN/m.
**Options for the vertical shear at joint B:**
- 9.2 kN
- 170 kN
- 390 kN
- 400 kN
---
**Note:** This task requires calculating the vertical shear force at joint B, using principles of static equilibrium and shear force analysis.
