Support forces, use margin symbol support

support force is 1.5 cm long, but in case it its represented in horizontal and vertical components it is relatively related to the magnitude

Uniformly distributed load: 0.5 cm and arrowhead 2mm

Resultant Force: 2 cm long and arrowhead 4.5 mm

External point force and support force: 1.5 cm long and arrowhead 3.5 mm
