For the beam and loading shown, determine the magnitude of the vertical reaction at A (lb) provided that a=161, b=102 and c=6.2. Do not round off in any intermediate steps. Round off only on the final anwer expressed in 3 decimal places. a lb/ft b lb/ft A B c ft

Step 1
2 ft = 631.4 lb. The arm is half of the length, so the arm is 6.2 ft / 2 = 3.1 ft. The moment due to the uniform load is 631.4 lb * 3.1 ft = 1958.34 lb-ft. Show more…

A uniform beam of length 7m is shown below and is simply supported at its left hand end (A) and at a point (B) 7m from A. It carries a vertically downward load of 32kN as shown below and is to carry a further vertically downward load of 160kN in such a position that the upward reactions at each support are equal. Ignore the weight of the beam and determine the position of the 160kN load to fulfil the given conditions. Measure from A.

A horizontal beam of negligible weight is $18.0 \mathrm{ft}$ long and is supported by columns at either end. A vertical load of 14,500 lb is applied to the beam at a distance $x$ from the left end. (a) Find $x$ so that the reaction at the left column is 10,500 lb. (b) Find the reaction at the right column.
