Formulas needed for a dynamic problem

Ah, but they appear to have defined the car at the center of the bridge according to the diagram (the question only says that the car is on the bridge, not where). Hmm.

Are you getting smart with me? ;)

Yes. Very suggestive to draw the car in the middle of the bridge.

Let me ask you this then.
Suppose you're building bridges and want to know whether your cartoon man will be able to cross the bridge without it collapsing.
Do you think it only matters what the max force is in the middle of the bridge?

Alright, fine, so I killed 500 cartoon men to date! I said I'm sorry to their families! Stop alluding to my negligence!

But yea, I do realize stress is not only important when the cartoon man/car/elephant is at the middle :) thanks.

Bwahaha!

To be fair, I think the person who stated the problem didn't expect you to go that far either.
