Above explanation is wrong because R at su = wl/2.
So putting the value in formula so getting answer = 5T.
So putting the value in formula so getting answer = 5T.

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

The correct answer is 5t, since SSB is symmetrical and total load is 1 * 10 = 10t, Ra=Rb=10/2= 5t.

It is 2.5 t for A, 2.5t for B, and 5.0t will be support C. If you consider B as centre support.

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

According to general assumption, Ra is 1st support from the left. And the answer is 15/8.

This is continuous beam use theorem of three moment to find the reactions at the support.

No need to calculate simple assumption at any support, the reaction will always be zero.

This beam is simitricaly,
Hence ra +rb = total load ÷ 2
=> 1*10 = 10 ÷ 2 =5.
Hence ra +rb = total load ÷ 2
=> 1*10 = 10 ÷ 2 =5.

They asking load only not moment. Moment at the support A will be zero, Not reaction.
