A beam is supported by a pin at point A and a roller at point B. Three forces are applied on the beam.
There is also an applied moment of 1200N-m at point C .
Values for the figure are given in the following table. Note the figure may not be to scale.
\table[[Variable,Value],[F1,350 N],[F2,350 N],[F3,900 N],[d1,2.5 m],[d2,3 m],[d3,3 m],[1,55 degrees],[2,25 degrees]]
a. Replace the force system with an equivalent force, FR.(enter the magnitude)
b. Determine the direction of the resultant force FR, measured counter-clockwise from the negative x-axis in degrees. Answer must be between 090
c. Determine the location of the FR on the beam, d, measured from point B (use the absolute value of the answer).
d. Does the resultant force FR act to the right or left of point B?
Round your final answers to 3 significant digits/figures.
A beam is supported by a pin at point A and a
