Concept explainers
The vertical support force at each end.
Answer to Problem 20P
Solution:
The force on the left end support is 8100 N.
The vertical support force for the right end beam is 5800 N.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of the steel beam,
Formula Used:
For equilibrium:
Here,
Calculations:
The force on the left end use the torque around the right end point. There are three forces acting.
The weight of the bottom beam and it is acting at the center of the beam.
The weight of the top beam and it is also acting at its center.
Consider rotational about the left support:
Consider
Conclusion:
Hence, the force on the left end support is 80605N and the vertical support force for the right end beam is 5757.5 N.
