m long beam shown in FIGURE below is supported at one point only and loaded as shown. Determine the distance
x
. from the left-end so that the beam is equilibrium. (Ignore the self-weight of the beam.) FIGURE (3) 3.2 A horizontal beam, as shown in FIGURE below, results on two supports,
L
and
R
is loaded as shown. 3.2.1 Determine the reactions of both supports by taking moments about each support. (Ignore the self-weight of the beam) (5) 3.2.2 Check the answer by balancing upward and downward forces
