Determine the reactions at the supports of the

beam which is acted on by the combination of
uniform and parabolic loading distributions.
When the truck is unloaded, the total
reactions at the front and rear wheels are
A=54 kN and B=36 kN. The density of the
load of gravel is ρ=1600 kg/m3. The
dimension of the load in the z direction is 3m,
and its surface profile, given by the function
shown, does not depend on z. what are the

wave load distribution.

The quarter-circular cantilever beam is

subjected to a uniform pressure on its upper
surface as shown. The pressure is expressed
in terms of the force p per unit length of
circumferential arc. Determine the reactions
on the beam at its support A in terms of the

The cross section of a fresh-water tank

with a slanted bottom is show. A
rectangular door 1.6 m by 0.8 m
(normal to the plane of the figure) in
the bottom of the tank is hinged at A
