The 150-lb man sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 3 lb>ft. Determine the maximum internal bending moment. Assume that the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat.
Problem 6-23The 150-lb man sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linearfoot of 3 lb/ft. Determine the maximum internal bending moment. Assume that the water exerts auniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat. Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 9 ^Draw the schematic of the forces acting on the boat and the man.
