4. Equilibrium of rigid bodies
Three loads are applied to a beam as shown. The beam
is supported by a roller at A and by a pin at B.
Neglecting the weight of the beam, determine the
reactions at A and B when P =15 kips.

5. Equilibrium of rigid bodies
A fixed crane has a mass of 1000 kg and is used to lift a
2400-kg crate. It is held in place by a pin at A and a rocker
at B. The center of gravity of the crane is located at G.
Determine the components of the reactions at A and B.
