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
to determine the bearing capacity for the given beam a=0.5 m sigma1 =150 N/mm2 and sigma2 =200N/mm2.
