It carries a uniform load of 16 pounds perfoot of length, and a concentrated load of 40 pounds at adistance of 3:^ feet… … Scale of forces 1=100 Z&»Scale of distance J^3 Fig. 289. weight of the uniform load is 16 X 10 = 160 pounds. Hence,the reaction = IGO + 40 = 200 pounds. Draw O C equal to 200 lb., to some convenient scale.Draw P C perpendicular to O C Sit C and choose the pole Pat a convenient distance from O…
