a. Find the total length, L (m) so that the upward pressure is
uniform, and the barge remains horizontal.
b. If shear is zero at 5m from the left end, what is the upward
290 kN/m
pressure in kN/m?
c. If the upward pressure is 145KN/m, what is the resulting moment
(KN-m) at first point of zero shear?
