A uniform 1450 kg beam that is 18 m long is balanced on two vertical support beams at either
end of the beam (see figure 9-8). A crate which weighs 520 kg is positioned 4.0 m from the first
support beam. Calculate the force on each of the vertical support beams.
Ten bags of topsoil, each weighing 175 N, are placed on a 2.43-m-long sheet of wood. They are stacked 0.50 m from one end of the sheet of wood, as shown in Figure 8-27. Two people lift the sheet of wood, one at each end. Ignoring the weight of the wood, how much force must each person exert?
