The problem shown involves a beam subjected to a distributed load. The goal is to determine the resultant force of the load and specify where it acts on the beam measured from point A.

### Problem Breakdown:
1. **Type of Load**: The beam has a uniformly distributed load (UDL) of 6 kN/m acting along a 6-meter section from point A to point B.
2. **Span**: The total span of the beam is 9 meters, with point A being 3 meters from the start of the UDL and point B 6 meters from point A.

### Solution Outline:
#### Step 1: **Determine the Total Load (Resultant Force)**
The total load \( W \) due to a uniformly distributed load (UDL) is calculated as:
\[
W = w \cdot L
\]
Where:
- \( w \) is the intensity of the load (6 kN/m),
- \( L \) is the length over which the load is applied (6 m).

\[
W = 6 \, \text{kN/m} \times 6 \, \text{m} = 36 \, \text{kN}
\]

#### Step 2: **Location of the Resultant Force**
For a uniformly distributed load, the resultant force acts at the centroid of the load distribution. For a UDL, this centroid is located at the midpoint of the load. 

Thus, the distance of the resultant force from point A is half of the length of the loaded span:
\[
x_{\text{R}} = \frac{6 \, \text{m}}{2} = 3 \, \text{m}
\]
Since the load starts at point A, the resultant force will be \( 3 \, \text{m} + 3 \, \text{m} = 6 \, \text{m} \) from point A.

### Final Result:
- **Resultant Force**: 36 kN
- **Location of the Resultant Force from A**: 6 meters

1. What is the method to calculate the resultant of a non-uniformly distributed load?
2. How would the result change if the load intensity varied linearly along the beam?

### Tip:
When dealing with uniformly distributed loads, remember that the resultant force acts at the centroid, which simplifies the calculation of moments and reactions.
