Question: A spherical mass, m , sits on a horizontal ( massless ) beam that is attached to two supports ( red on the left, blue

A spherical mass, m, sits on a horizontal (massless) beam that is attached to two supports (red on the left, blue on the right). Rank the magnitude of the 3 forces on the horizontal beam, where Fs is the force the spherical mass exerts on the beam, FL is the force exerted by the left (red) support
and FR is the force exerted by the right (blue) support.
