Note! Load due to the weight of a mass - m - is mg Newton's - where g = 9.81 m/s 2. The support forces F 3 and F 4 can be calculated + F n a fn = R a r1 + R a r2 (2)Ī = the distance from the force to a common reference - usually the distance to one of the supports (m, ft) Example - A beam with two symmetrical loadsĪ 10 m long beam with two supports is loaded with two equal and symmetrical loads F 1 and F 2, each 500 kg. The moment balance can be expressed asį 1 a f1 + F 2 a f2 +. In addition for a beam in balance the algebraic sum of moments equals zero.
