A cantilever beam 2 meter in length, 5KN act at point (A) of the beam. There is point x it looks like half way along the beam. how do i workout the distance of point X so work out the magnidues of Ra and Rb so i can go onto working out bending motion and shear force?ruff idea i had
1) Ra x 2 = 5 x X = 5X
2) Ra = 5X/12 = 0.416XkN

There is no Ra in your case.
First, complete a free body diagram and the equations of static balance for the vertical forces and the moments.
