### Analysis of Beam Loading and Reactions

In the given diagram, a beam is subjected to various forces and moments. Understanding the loading conditions is crucial for determining the reactions at supports and the internal forces throughout the beam.

#### Support and Beam Layout:
- **Point A**: The left end of the beam, with a support (roller support).
- **Point B**: The right end of the beam, with a support (roller support).
- **Length of sections**:
  - From A to the start of the distributed load: 2 meters
  - Length of the distributed load: 3 meters
  - From the end of the distributed load to the location of the moment: 2 meters
  - From the location of the moment to B: 2 meters
- **Total length of the beam**: 9 meters

#### Loads and Moments Applied:
- **Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)**:
  - Location: Between 2 meters and 5 meters from point A
  - Magnitude: 800 N/m (Newtons per meter)

- **Moment**:
  - Location: 7 meters from point A
  - Magnitude: 4.2 kN·m (kilonewton-meters)
  - Direction: Clockwise

### Explaining Elements:
1. **Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)**:
   - A UDL is spread evenly along a portion of the beam.
   - The total load exerted by the UDL = Load per unit length x Length of load = 800 N/m x 3 m = 2400 N (or 2.4 kN).
   - This load acts downward.

2. **Moment**:
   - A moment is a force causing rotational effect.
   - Here, located at 7 meters from A, the moment is 4.2 kN·m, creating a clockwise rotation.

### Reaction Calculation:
To maintain static equilibrium (i.e., the beam doesn’t move), the sum of vertical forces and moments around any point must be zero. Therefore, by analyzing the forces and moments:

1. **Sum of Vertical Forces**:
   - Let \(R_A\) and \(R_B\) be the vertical reactions at supports A and B respectively.
   - Equation: \(R_A + R_B - 2.4 \text{ kN} = 0\) (since the only vertical loads
