Answer to Problem 16P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Mass of uniform beam is 280 kg.
Formula used:
The beam is in equilibrium, and so both the net torque and net force on it must be zero.
Calculation:
Take the net torque about the center of the left support, with counterclockwise torques as positive.
Calculate the net force, with upward as positive
Conclusion:
Hence,
