Hi

i tried this problem a couple times but could not figure out...thought maybe i could get some help

1. Homework Statement [/b]

A 10 000 -kg bridge of length 10 m is supported at both ends. If a 2000-kg car is parked on the bridge 3.0 m
from the left support, what are the supporting forces at the left and right ends?

Thanks

confused

Why didn't you use the complete template and show some equations/attempts to solve the problem? I'm sure you know at least something to start from.
