A uniform beam has a length of 15.4 m and a mass of 37.2 kg. The beam is horizontal and resting (in equilibrium) on two supports. One of the supports is located 4.37m to the right of the beam's center of mass. The second support is located 2.06 m to the left of the beam's center of mass. How much upward force is exerted on the beam by the second support?
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
