Q: Determine the magnitude of the equivalent resultant force and specify the location of the equivalent resultant force, measured from point A.

$w_1=4.5$kN $w_2=0.9$kN $F=2.7$ kN Using the equation for a triangular distributed load we get $F_R= .5(3)(w_1-w_2)+ F$ $F_R = 8.1$kN But another student said that $.5(3)(w_1+w_2)$ works as well. I have tried solving for $F_R$ both ways and keep getting $10.8$ kN or $8.10$ kN, but both answers ar...
