Question 5

A uniform rod AB AB\,AB has length 3 m and mass 8 kg. The rod rests horizontally on two supports C C\,C and DDD, where AC=0.5AC = 0.5AC=0.5 m and AD=2AD = 2AD=2 m.

Diagram of a uniform rod AB of length 3 m supported by two supports C and D. AC = 0.5 m and AD = 2 m.

a.

Find the magnitude of the reactions of the support at C C\,C and DDD.
