hello,

When calculating moments, why did you take length of 22,5 ft for force 1350?

The total load from the triangularly distributed load is not 1350 lbs. Recalculate that load, and please note that the resultant load of a triangularly distributed load acts at the centroid of that triangle (which is not at its center).
