Question 96

In this question use g=9.8g = 9.8g=9.8 m s−2^{-2}−2.

A uniform steel girder AB AB\,AB has length 11 m and mass 18 kg. The girder is supported in a horizontal position by a single pivot at the point PPP, where AP=4AP = 4AP=4 m.

To maintain equilibrium, a ballast weight of W W\,W newtons is attached to the girder at the end AAA.

a.
