Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 7**: Replace the distributed loading by an equivalent resultant force, and specify its location on the beam, measured from the pin at \( A \).
**Diagram Explanation**:
The diagram shows a simply supported beam \( AB \) resting on two supports. The beam spans a total length of 6 meters, divided into two equal sections of 3 meters each.
- On the left, at point \( A \), there is a pin support embedded in a brick-like structure.
- On the right, at point \( B \), there's a roller support on another brick-like structure.
**Loading Details**:
- The beam is subjected to a triangular distributed load.
- The load intensity starts at \( 2 \, \text{kN/m} \) at the pin support \( A \) and increases linearly to \( 4 \, \text{kN/m} \) at the roller support \( B \).
The task is to replace this distributed loading with a single resultant force and find its location along the beam.
