A point load on a beam is an example of an _______.

Determine the vertical reaction force at A. Let P1 = 32.5 kips, P2 = 36.8 kips, and a = b = c = d = 12 ft.

The beam is fixed at wall B. Determine the internal shear force at point C, which is x = 7 ft to the right of support A. Let L = 30 ft, M = 900 lb·ft, P = 750 lb and w0 = 200 lb/ft.

The floor system of a light manufacturing building consists of a 110-mm-thick concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A = 8,600 mm2) that, in turn, are supported by two steel girders (A = 25,413.9 mm2). Determine the live load acting on beam DH.
