Answer:
Support at Cy = 1.3 x 10³ k-N
Support at Ay = 200 k-N
Explanation:
given:
fb = 300 k-N/m
fc = 100 k-N/m
D = 300 k-N
L ab = 6 m
L bc = 6 m
L cd = 6 m
To get the reaction A or C.
take summation of moment either A or C.
<em><u>Support Cy:</u></em>
∑ M at Ay = 0
(( x1 * F ) + ( D * Lab ) + ( D * L bc + D * L cd )
Cy = -------------------------------------------------------------------
( L ab + L bc )
Cy = 1.3 x 10³ k-N
<em><u>Support Ay:</u></em>
Since ∑ F = 0, A + C - F - D = 0
A = F + D - C
Ay = 200 k-N
Gravity is affected by mass and distance
politics. Famous possible eg is of Werner Heisenberg in WW2. He delayed German attempt to build a nuclear bomb. US did build one ... hiroshima and nagasaki.
