Solving a problem in physics section 54 point 55 mechan

55. The homogeneous beam of 500 kg and a length of 5 m is held in the horizontal position of the support, and C. Bearing B is at a distance of 2 m from the point C. The point E is suspended from a weight of 250 kg. Distance AE is 0.5 m (Fig.). Determine the direction and magnitude of the reaction towers at points B and C.
