1) A 10-ft long rigid structure is modeled as the
cantilevered bar AB in the figure. The lift of the
wing is modeled as w(x)=3*sqrt(x) lb/ft, with x =0
at the left end (A). Ignoring the weight of the
structure:
a) Draw the free-body-diagram
b) Calculate the reactions at the wall using
integration only.
c) Calculate the centroid of the load w(x) and use
it to check part b by solving for the reactions
using the equivalent point force.
