The 3.0-meter-long, 94 kg rigid beam in (Figure 1) is supported at each end. An 86 kg student stands 2.0 meters from Support 1.

A) How much upward force does Support 1 exert on the beam?
B) How much upward force does Support 2 exert on the beam?

Answer :

Each support exerts upward forces of 751.33 N and 1012.67 N on the beam.

We use the principle of moments to determine the upward force that the beam is producing.

From the attached diagram,

Let's talk briefly about N2.

Equation 1: Mgd1+ Mgd2 = N2L Where:

M stands for beam mass.

d1 represents the beam's middle.

Student mass is equal to m, and student distance from N2 is equal to d2.

N2 is support. 2

L stands for "beam length."

g stands for gravitational acceleration.

Considering the query,

M = 94 kg, m = 86 kg, d1 = 1.5 m, d2, 1 m, L, 3 m, g, 9.8 m/s2,

Equation 1 can be solved for N2 by substituting these values there.

N₂×3 = (94×9.8×1.5)+(86×1×9.8)

3N₂ = 2254\sN₂ = 2254/3\sN₂ = 751.33 N

The formula below is used to determine the First Support N1.

N1 + N2 mg + Mg

N1 = (869.8)+(949.8)-751.33 N1 = 1012.67 N1 = mg+Mg-N2

Consequently, each support's upward force is 751.33 N and 1012.67 N, respectively.
