Statics 2D equilibrium example finding the maximum distributed load

If the roller at A and the pin at B can support a load up to 5 kN and 9 kN respectively, determine the maximum intensity of the distributed load w, measured in kN/m, so that failure of the supports does not occur. Problem #5.23 Hibbeler Statics

Who am I?
I'm Cherish! I currently teach Mechanical Engineering at a University but I remember the days of being a struggling engineering student. Going to class, feeling confused and frustrated when trying to do assignments because I hadn't learned much in class seemed to be a regular occurrence.

I created STEM Course Prep to save today's engineering students from the same fate. I teach my courses in a way I would have liked to be taught... light on theory, heavy on examples.

Organization is key to learning so I also provide an outline of notes for my courses so you can stay organized and create a great resource for each course.

Current offerings:

Mechanics of Materials I and II
System Dynamics and Controls
Thermodynamics
Fluid Mechanics
