- hi everyone,
i am trying to solve this question where one point load is given on a table at coordinates
x = a/4 & y=a/5 , where a is the distance between adjacent legs of the table.
- Relevant Equations
- M = F.d
I have tried solving this by splitting the load into two parallel coplaner loads as the Hint below the question suggests but while i was computing the values i realized that, i'll have 4 variables with only 3 equations.
two forces and the two distances to forces from their respective axes.
i've concluded that i have to make an assumption to solve this question. if someone could advice me on a better way or tell me if i am right.
Thanks.
