Determine the maximum intensity of the distributed load w

If the roller at A and the pin at B can support a load up to 4kN and 8kN, respectively, determine the maximum intensity of the distributed load w, measured in kN/m, so that failure of the supports does not occur.

to find the perpendicular distance to calculate the moment, you must [3/cos(30)] + 4...lets say that =a.....next, to find the distance, distance=(a) * cos(30) so now you have the perpendicular distance to the force so m=F*distance

i am actually finding it easier to just find the length in the x direction of the entire assembly and then finding the y component of the force to find the moment since you will need the x and y components later.

the problem is that he assumes the distance of AB is perpendicular to force A, when it is not. Yeah, it's better to sum the moments components of A then try and combine them into 1 moment.

This is wrong, FA is not perpendicular to B.
