Question: Wind has blown sand over a platform such that the intensity of the load can be approximated by the function w = (0.5x3) N/m. Simplify

Wind has blown sand over a platform such that the intensity of the load can be approximated by the function w = (0.5x3) N/m. Simplify this distributed loading to an equivalent resultant force and specify its magnitude and location measured fromA.

500 N /m w = (0.5r') N/m -10 m

500 N /m w = (0.5r') N/m -10 m
