A beam supports three loads of given magnitude and a fourth load whose magnitude is a function of position. Consider b
=1.5 m and the loads are to be replaced with a single equivalent force.
9 m
1300 N
400 N
600 N
a
A
42
400N
B
Determine the magnitude of the equivalent force and its point of application on the beam.
The magnitude of the equivalent force is ā N, and its point of application on the beam is
m to the right of A.
