Thanks I understand now, appreciate your help.

R1 = 1/2.5*(30*1) = 12kg R2 = 1/2.5*((30*2.5)+(30*1)) = 42kg This is how I've done it, if anyone can give me some guidance that'd be great.

I'm still not sure how to apply, I can't find any relevant examples. The two distances are 1.5m and 1m, bearing spread and mass extended.

Homework Statement Need to know the bearing load for a linear slide I'm working on, two spaced bearings with an extended load off the end of the slide. Homework Equations What equation do I need to apply? What examples are out there? The Attempt at a Solution

Equilibrium on a uniform beam problem Homework Statement Could someone please explain how i would solve this from the basics? I can't find any similar examples in my textbooks. All i remember is that the teacher made a slight mistake and the result may be negative? Homework...

Homework Statement A uniform beam is supported at its centre of gravity. The forces, F, 4N and 6N act to keep the beam in equilibrium. Forces 4N and 6N are acting at 60deg to the horizontal, calculate the force F, if the beam remains in equilibrium. F is acting upwards on the left of the...

Thankyou Fanta, makes sense now.

I still don't get it :/ This is driving me insane. My physics teacher is useless, we never do enough examples.

Homework Statement A stone is thrown horizontally from a height of 10m above ground and moves with constant velocity of 5m/s. Calculate: a) the time it will take to hit the ground b) the distance traveled in the calculated time Homework Equations Now for a i am using x =...

Homework Statement Convert the following angles in degree to angles in radians: 15° 60° 80° Homework Equations Now i know that 2 ti c = 360° And that 6.28 c = 360° The Attempt at a Solution I just can't quite get my head around it, what calculation should...
