The frame shown in Figure 1 has a uniformly distributed load of P= 9.5 kN/m. 

e) Calculate the value of the bending moment M2 of Figure 2 in kNm, where M2 represents the bending moment in the vertical member at joint B.

Note which side of the member the moment occurs on by making the value negative if;

• It occurs on the left side of a vertical member
• It occurs on the top side of a horizontal member.

Give the answer to 1 decimal place.
