Problem 8P

A 140-kg horizontal beam is supported at each end. A 320-kg piano rests a quarter of the way from one end. What is the vertical force on each of the supports?

ANSWER:

Solution 8P

Step 1 of 3:

A horizontal beam of mass m is fixed at end. The length of the beam is said to be L. A piano is placed at a distance 0.25L from the left. We are going to find the vertical force on the each end.

The mass of the beam m1 = 140.0 kg

The mass of the piano m2 = 320.0 kg

The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2
