A uniform horizontal beam has a length of 8 m and mass of 500 kg. The beam rests on two supports overhanging one by a distance x while the other is at the extreme right-hand end. The loading is 5 tonnes at the left-hand end, 6 tonnes at the mid-point of the beam and 7 tonnes 1 metre from the right-hand end. Determine the value of x if the reaction at the left-hand support is to be twice that at the right-hand support. - Show free-body-diagram and all your workings
