[weedannycool]

Homework Statement

A man holds a 6-kg uniform plank. Determine forces at A and B. A is at 1 end of the board and B is 0.6 metres further down. total length is 1.4 m

Homework Equations

w=mg
M=fd

The Attempt at a Solution

there will be a force down at A and up at B. i think A will just be weight. So 58.9 N not sure about B though.

i think i might have it. A is down so is weight so B is just these two added together?
