A horizontal bar of uniform section built in at both ends is loaded axially at two intermediate sections by forces P1 and P2 as shown in figure. Find the reactions R1 and R2 if P1 = 2P2 = 4500N.Ans: R1 = 3750 N, R2 = 3000 N
Solution: From the free body diagram, R1-P1-P2+R2=0 Or, R1 +R2=P1+P2=4500+ =6750----------------(1)
or, + =0 or, + or, 2R1- R2 = 4500------------------------------(2) From the equation (1) and (2) we get 2R1- (6750-R1) = 4500 Or, R1=3750N And putting this value in equation (1) we get R2= 3000N
