A uniform aluminum beam 9.0 m long, weighting 300 N rests symmetrically on two supports 5 m apart. A boy weighting 600 N is standing initially at position x = 4 m to the right from support A
a. Find the normal forces exerted by both supports on the beam
b. Imagine now that the boy starts walking to the right along the beam. How far beyond the point B can the boy walk before the beam tips?

A uniform beam 9.00 m long, weighting 300.0 N, rests
symmetrically on two supports 5.00 m apart. A boy weighing 600.0 N
starts at point A and walks toward the right. (a) Calculate the
normal forces at A and B if the value of x shown in the picture is
1.00 m (b) Calculate the normal forces at A and B if the value of x
is 1.25m. Do not fail to include the appropriate Free body
diagrams.
a uniform 10-m log of mass 100kg rests in a horizontal position on two supports. one support is 2m from the left end of the log and the other is 4m from the right end. find the forces F1 and F2 exerted on the log by the supports
A uniform plank of length 5 m and weight 225N rests horizontally on two supports with 1.1m of the plank hanging over the right support. To what distance can a personwho weighs 450N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just beings to tip?
11.) A uniform plank of length 5.0 m and weight 225 N rests horizontally on two supports, with 1.1 m of the plank hanging over the right support (see the drawing). To what distance x can a person who weighs 394 N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just begins to tip?
