SUMMARY
The center of moment for a distributed load of 1.11x is correctly located at x/3 from the 15kN load, contrary to the initial assumption that it should be at 2x/3. This conclusion arises from the need to sum moments about the right end of the beam. The center of gravity (cg) of the distributed load is indeed at 2x/3 from the 15kN load, but the moment calculation requires referencing the distance from the right end, which is x/3.

TL;DR: determine the internal force of member OA
Hi I'm struggling with this problem. I have calculated the angle to be 45 degrees with tan(theta) = a/a. A is a roller which only has Ay and O has Ox & Oy as a fixed pin. (see fbd.png) is my FBD correct?
