If you consider a, b, c as supports from left to right, a will carry 2.5 t, b will carry 5.0t and c will carry 2.5t. Total load is 10 t.

Yes, 15/8 is the correct answer.

AJAY said:   7 years ago
The correct answer is 5t, since SSB is symmetrical and total load is 1 * 10 = 10t, Ra=Rb=10/2= 5t.

The answer is not zero because under loading conditions never support reaction zero. If it's zero structure will be failure.

It is 3/16 wl only.

2.5T is correct by equilibrium equation.

Rb * 5 = 1 * 10 * 5.
So Rb = 10,
Ra + Rb = 10,
Therefore Ra = zero.

It's 1.875 as calculated above , 3 pt theorom, calculate mb as in str and then proceed for ra

The given answer is right.

Let discuss it now,
RA + RB=o
where RA is Reaction at A and RB is Reaction at B.

First, let convert UDL into concentrated load which is equal to 1T x 10.
10 is the span length of the beam.
RA x 0 + 10RB = 10 T,
10RB = 10T,
RB = 10T/10,
RB = 0,
So the reaction at A will be equal to zero.

T.l = 10 * 1 = 10t,
Rb * 10 = 10*1(10/2),
Rb * 10 = 50,
Rb = 50/10,
Rb = 5,
Ra + Rb = 10.
Ra = 10-5 = 5.
