The 3-m long beam shown below is subjected to a linearly-distributed load with an intensity that varies from zero kN/m (on the left) to 1.5 kN/m (on the right). A -3 m- 1.5 kN/m B a) What is the total magnitude of the force applied to the beam? b) If the distributed load were replaced with a single point force, where on the beam would it need to act in order for the beam supports to experience the same effect?
