I dont get this question at all. please answer all parts
20.0-m-long uniform beam weighing 900 N rests on walls A and B, as shown in the figure (Figure 1) .
0)Find the maximum weight of a person who can walk to the extreme end D without tipping the beam.
1) Find the force that the wall A exert on the beam when the person is standing at D.
2)Find the force that the wall B exert on the beam when the person is standing at D.
3)Find the force that the wall A exert on the beam when the person is standing at a point 2.0 m to the right of B.
4)Find the force that the wall B exert on the beam when the person is standing at a point 2.0 m to the right of B.
5)Find the force that the wall A exert on the beam when the person is standing 2.0 m to the right of A.
6)Find the force that the wall B exert on the beam when the person is standing 2.0 m to the right of A.
Explanation / Answer
0) before tipping, force exerted y wall is zero.
and net torque about wall B = 0
5*900 - 5*m*g = 0
==> m = 900/g
= 900/9.8
= 91.84 kg
1) zero
2) FB = 2*900
= 1800 N
3) Apply, net force about wall B = 0
900*5 - FA*12 - 900*2 = 0
FA = 900*(5-2)/12
= 225 N
4) Apply, Fnety = 0
FA + FB - 900 - 900 = 0
FB = 1800 - FA
= 1800 - 225
= 1575 N
5) Apply, net force about wall B = 0
900*5 + 900*10 - FA*12 = 0
FA = 900*(5 + 10 )/12
= 1125 N
6) Apply, Fnety = 0
FA + FB - 900 - 900 = 0
FB = 1800 - FA
= 1800 - 1125
= 675N
