Step 1
There are three forces acting on the beam: the weight of the beam (W), the force P, and the reaction force at the pivot point (R). The beam is in equilibrium, which means the sum of the forces and the sum of the moments (torques) must both be zero. Let's assume Show more…

Equilibrium. We say an object is in equilibrium if all the forces on it balance (add up to zero). Figure 1.40 shows a beam weighing 124 $\mathrm{N}$ that is supported in equilibrium by a 100.0 -N pull and a force $\vec{F}$ at the floor. The third force on the beam is the 124 . N weight that acts vertically downward, (a) Use vector components to find the magnitude and direction of $\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{F}}$ . (b) Check the reasonableness of your answer in part (a) by doing a graphical solution approximately to scale.
Consider the situation in the Figure. The uniform 0.60-kN beam is hinged at P. Find the tension FRV and FRH in the tie rope and the components of the reaction force exerted by the hinge on the beam.
