How to solve for the centroid of the composite body using the principle of moments and treat each part as a finite element of the whole figure (show a step by step solution)

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 6.6** - Determine a) the magnitude and location of the resultant of the distributed load; and b) the reactions at supports A and B.
### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram depicts a simply supported beam subjected to a linearly varying distributed load.
- The beam is supported at two points: A (left end) and B (right end).
- The distributed load starts at 200 lb/ft at support A and decreases linearly to 50 lb/ft at support B.
- The total span of the beam is 12 ft.
- The distributed load is represented by a triangular loading pattern.
### Tasks:
- **Part a)** Calculate the magnitude and location of the resultant force due to the distributed load.
- **Part b)** Determine the reaction forces at supports A and B.
