Question
Make correction to this exercice and explain in sentence or two why I made the mistake.
**Transcription and Explanation for Educational Website**

**Text and Calculations:**

1. **Problem Description:**
   - For the beam shown, in the space provided:
     1. [3] Draw the free body diagram. (FR = 50.4 KN/m)
     2. [2] Resolve the distributed load into 2 point loads and indicate their location as a distance from point O.

2. **Equations and Calculations:**
   - \( FR = \sum F = FR_1 + FR_2 + FR_3 \)
   - \( FR_A = 6 \text{ kN/m} \)
   - \( FR_B = 15 \text{ kN} \)
   - \( (+) M_{Ro} = (+) FR_A (5 \text{ m}) - FR_2 (7.5 \text{ m}) \)
   - \( M_{Ro} = 6 \text{ kN/m} (5 \text{ m}) - 15 \text{ kN} (7.5 \text{ m}) = 500 \text{ KN/m} \)
   - \( HR = 142.5 \text{ KN} \)
   - Distance \( d = \frac{HR}{FR} = \frac{142.5 \text{ KN}}{500 \text{ KN/m}} = 0.27 \text{ m} \)

**Diagrams Explanation:**

1. **Beam Diagram:**
   - The beam is divided into segments with point loads indicated.
   - Multiple forces are acting: a point load of 15 kN at one end and a uniformly distributed load of 6 kN/m over a length of 7.5 m.
   - Dimensions along the beam are marked: 7.5 m extends from the left support to the right end, with the distributed load acting evenly across this length.

2. **Free Body Diagram for Bar:**
   - A lever arm with a 250 N force pressing downward at a 30-degree angle from vertical.
   - The arm is 0.4 m long, and there is a horizontal offset of 0.15 m between two points, denoted as A and B.

**Notes:**
- The calculations show resolution of forces and moments for static equilibrium.
- The aim is to simplify the loading conditions on the beam for structural analysis purposes.
