correct. the only concentrated load is at the end on the beam, 5' from R2

Simon: you interpreted my discription correctly.

to reply to SteamKing: the concentrated load of 2000 lbs is being applied to the end of the beam. There is a reaction 5'-0" way, which I determined to be 2000 lbs. The other reaction at the opposite end of the beam will provide no reaction hence the zero. The bending moment curve I determined...

The resulting motion of the beam under the forces would be zero. I believe my answers make since. I did omit, you are correct, there is a 2000 lb force being applied to an end of a beam. I do know that any reactions have to equal this force. I believe the reaction at the opposite end is 0 lbs...

Well I attempted to find a solution and wanted to know if those reactions where correct

Homework Statement Find reaction for given. one beam 15 ft long supported at end (R1) and supported 5foot in from the ohter end (R2). 2000 lbs load is location at the very end on the beam 5foot from r2 Homework Equations how do I determian the reactions? I know how to draw the shear...
