A uniform 30-lb beam, 10 feet long is carried by two men A and B, one at each end of the beam. a) If A
exerts a force of 25 lbs, where must a load of 50 lbs be placed on the beam? b) What force does B exert?
Show Figure/FBD, given and the formula used
Can you provide me the solution of this? Thank you!
A 5-m-long simply supported timber beam carries two concentrated loads as shown. If L = 30 kN and M = 54 kN, determine the magnitude of the vertical force acting at support A.
A uniform beam that 10-m long is being supported by two men, one man at each end. The weight of the beam. Is 100-N. If the first man supporting at the right side exert twice as much as the second man on the left, where must a 50-N motor be placed (measured from the first man) on top of the beam? Show complete solution.
