LoginWe get , Ra + Rb = WL / 2
Where WL / 2 is load due to UVL
Then take sum of moment @ A = 0
Then we get ,
WL^2/ 6 - Rb L = 0
Rb = WL /6
The load will act at CG of the triangle i.e. at L/3 from support A.
Now to calculate the reaction at B, take summation of the moment at A equal to zero(Equilibrium equation).
