A 40 foot beam that weighs 125 pounds is supported at the two ends by walls. It also supports a 600 pound AC unit 5 feet from th
e right hand wall. Calculate the force the right hand wall (closest to the AC) must support.
A) 588 pounds
B) 138 pounds
C) 725 pounds
D) 608 pounds
A) 588 pounds
B) 138 pounds
C) 725 pounds
D) 608 pounds
1 answer:
Answer:
A) 588 pounds
Explanation:
According to the given conditions, we assume the beam to be simply supported at the ends carrying a uniformly distributed load of 125 pounds per feet and a point load of 600 pounds acting at 5 feet from the right support.
Referring the schematic:
<u>Moment about any point will be zero in equilibrium condition. </u>
∴Take moment about point L

Explanation:
We can find the heat necessary for the ice to go from -20 degrees Celsius to 0 degrees Celsius:
Where is the specific heat of ice, that is the amount of heat that must be supplied per unit mass to raise its temperature in a unit.
We must calculate the latent heat of fusion required for this ice mass to change to water:
Where H=334 J/g is the specific latent heat of fusion of water, that is the amount of energy needed per unit mass of a substance at its melting point to change from the solid to the liquid state.
Then we calculate the heat necessary for the water to go from 0 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius:
Where is the specific heat of water, that is the amount of heat that must be supplied per unit mass to raise its temperature in a unit.
Finally the 3 results are added:
