Thank you guys for watching.

Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions and also if you have any other problem you would like to go over with.

Why did you take 2 thirds of the distance instead of 1 third??

[HashemAljifri]

I solved it differently as for the equilateral triangular load, I said that 1/2(500lb/ft)(12ft) = 3000lb acting right in the middle of the beam since it is equally and symmetrically distributed along member AC

great video i solved it myself, but wanted to confirms my answer.

thank you, this video was very helpful

Thank you so much! this is so helpful😁

[vibingwithchill]

but how do you know there is a moment reaction at A?

[keeganpetersen]

why did you split the 500 lb/ft load ? could you just use the full triangle since it is symetrical?

My doctor told us we could split it into two parts using bar CD
