Question
In the figure, a lead brick rests horizontally on cylinders A and B. The areas of the top faces of the cylinders are related by A4= 2.8 Ag;
the Young's moduli of the cylinders are related by Ea= 2.2 Eg. The cylinders had identical lengths before the brick was placed on them.
What fraction of the brick's mass is supported (a) by cylinder A and (b) by cylinder B? The horizontal distances between the center of
mass of the brick and the centerlines of the cylinders are dafor cylinder A and dg for cylinder B. (c) What is the ratio da/dg?
