The beam in Figure 1 is supported by three cylindrical floaters. The beam is loaded by a load G, acting in the middle of the beam. Calculate the vertical deflection of the point B and the support reactions on the points A, B, C due to the floaters. The weight of the floaters is negligible. Given data: E: elasticity modulus of the beam's material I: moment of inertia of the beam L: length (see fig. 1) G: load D: diameter of the cylindrical floaters p: density of water g: gravitational acceleration Formula for the buoyancy of the floater: N = pg- L L G
