Fоr the beаm, lоаding аnd suppоrt combination shown in Figure (a), some primary calculations have been done. Figure (b) shows that the distributed load has been divided into two parts. In Figure (c), equivalent concentrated forces and their respective distances from the left support (P) are shown. What is the total single equivalent force (Fr) in Figure (d) and what is distance (x) of this force from the left support (P)? Total single equivalent force (Fr): [BLANK-1] N (WRITE THE VALUE ONLY WITHOUT A COMMA; NOT THE UNITS) Distance (x) of Fr from the left support (P): [BLANK-2] m (WRITE THE VALUES ONLY UPTO 2 DECIMAL PLACES; NOT THE UNITS) Q4.jpg
