Please help me, Determine the Magnitude & Location of the Resultant for

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a request for assistance in determining the magnitude and location of the resultant force for a load system presented in an attached image. The user has calculated the total load as 48 kN but is unsure how to proceed with the summation of forces and moments. They express a desire to understand the problem-solving process rather than just receiving the answer, indicating that seeing the steps will aid their learning. The user also mentions the inconvenience of not having a scanner for better image quality. Overall, the focus is on seeking guidance for understanding the methodology behind solving this type of statics problem.

Please help me, "Determine the Magnitude & Location of the Resultant for...

Hi, I need some help understanding how to do this type of problem, I attached a digital picture version of the problem.

Homework Statement



Determine the Magnitude and Location of the Resultant for the Load System shown:^That's what they want, please help me.

The visual representation is in the attachment.


This is as far as I get in this problem,

W= (8KN/m) 6m= 48Kn

R= Summation FY=

Summation MA=

X bar=I have no idea what to do next

Update-

Attached the .JPEG


I need to buy a damn scanner, this took me probably longer then how long it takes to do the problem.

If you have a digital camera, why not use that?
 


Ok the updload is done, the STATICS PROBLEM.jpg is the actual Digital Picture, sorry for going in a maze over this, I feel so stupid right now:shy:, let me clean up the first post...
 


Help please, I need to know how to do these problems, it isn't a Homework its just an exercise for my brain. If I can see the process of how it is done, then I can understand it and put it to use, If I see a process it sticks in my mind forever.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
