A 2.4 m long plank of mass 20kg has 2 pins, each 0.5 meters from each respective plank end. A person of mass 40kg stands on the plank 0.1m from one of the pins. Calculate the magnitude of reactions at the pins for this structure to be in equilibrium.
1.) draw what is happening: 2.)Notice key points of questions: Plank is in equilibrium. This means that all forces=0 and all moment=03.) Apply force equilibrium: 4.) Apply moment equilibrium5.) final answer is R1=462N and R2=126N.
