  • Photo of a textbook page showing problem 4.2-9: a horizontal beam ABCD with supports at A and D, a vertical arm rising from C to E, a cable from E over a pulley at B to a 6 kN weight W hanging below B, with spans of 2 m and a 1.5 m arm height labelled.

  • Handwritten beam diagram: horizontal beam with supports RA at left end A and RD at right end D, a 3 kN load at point B, a 3 kN force at the midpoint, a 1.5 kN force upward at right, and an inclined 3 kN force at the centre with angle theta; spans of 2 m, 2 m and 2 m, followed by handwritten moment equation solution giving RA = 3 kN.

  • Handwritten solution: RA = 3.0 kN, shear force at C = VC = RA - 3 - 3cos(53.13) = -1.6 kN, bending moment at C = MC = -RA x 4 + 3 x 2 + 3sin(53.13) x 1.5 = 22.4 kNm, with a comparison table of my answer versus book answer and the word why?

Sorry, it was not uploaded properly. It's available now.
 
I would re-check your resolution of the tension in the cable holding the 6kN weight. I don't get your components.
