Question

Consider a rigid steel beam of length L = 13 m and mass mb = 378 kg resting on two supports, one at each end. A worker of mass mw = 61 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.

 Enter an expression for the force support B must exert on the beam in order for it to remain at rest, in terms of defined quantities, x, and g

FB =


When the worker sits at a distance x = 8.5 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. 
FB =


The force exerted on the beam by support A is measured and found to be FA = 2280 N. At what distance x, in meters, from support A is the worker sitting now? 

x =
