Answer:
R = 4.75 lb (↑)
Explanation:
Number of books = n = 19
Weight of each book = W = 1 lb
Length of the bookshelf = L = 40 inches
We can get the value of the distributed load as follows
q = n*W/L = 19*1 lb/ 40 inches = 0.475 lb/in
then the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of the bookshelf are
R = (q/2)/2 = 4.75 lb
We can see the bookshelf in the pic.
