2. Find the equivalent concentrated load(s) for the bags of cement stacked on the
dock as shown here. Each bag weighs 100 lbs and is 12 inches long. Draw the loading
conditions for each showing the equivalent concentrated load(s).
1 bag = 100lbs
L= 12 ft
L= 6 ft
L= 8ft
I have a question for this problem in the first one wouldn't it be finding the total weight of the bags which =4800lbs and the multiply that by 12ft to find the concentrated load?? but if this is the case the load would end up as lbs/ft so I'm not too sure that is right.
There are 2 parts
A) L=12ft
B) L1= 6ft, L2= 8ft
