The 9.75 m long beam is simply supported at A and B as shown below with a uniformly distributed load (UDL) between A and C of 4.75 kN/m and a concentrated point load of 12.50 kN at point D (i.e., midpoint between C & B). Determine the reaction force RA acting at A in kilonewtons (kN). Assume the beam is weightless and give your answer in kilonewtons (kN) to 2 decimal places. 12.50 kN 4.75 kN/m 1.125 m A 7.50 m 2.25 m В

In order to lift a shovelful of dirt, a gardener pushes downward on the end of the shovel and pulls upward at distance l2 from the end, as shown below. The weight of the shovel is mg and acts at the point os application of F2 . Calculate the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2 as functions of l1 , l2 , mg, and the weight W of the load. Why do your answers not depend on the angle that shovel makes with the horizontal?
