Consider a rigid steel beam of length L = 14 m and mass mb = 405 kg resting on two supports, one at each end. A worker of mass mw = 68 kg sits on the beam at a distance x from support A. Refer to the figure, though note that it is not drawn to scale.
a. When the worker sits at a distance x = 7.5 m from support A, calculate the force, in newtons, that support B must exert on the beam in order for it to remain at rest. Use g with three significant figures.
b. The force exerted on the beam by support A is measured and found to be FA = 2240 N. At what distance x, in meters, from support A is the worker sitting now?
A uniform steel bar of length 10 m is supported at
point A and B using two cables as shown in the figure.
The bar is hinged at point C and has a weight 500 N.
