Answer:
Explanation:
Let the force at the support end is R and at the left end is F.
According to the equilibrium condition
F + R = 280 + 500
F + R = 780 .... (1)
Take moments about G.
F x 1.5 + R x 0.5 = 500 x 1.5
3F + R = 1500 .... (2)
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2), we get
2F = 1500 - 780
F = 360 N
R = 780 - 360
R = 420 N
(a) Force at support is 420 N
(b) force at the left end is 360 N.

The force at the supporting point is 1920N and the force at the left-hand end is 1140N
Data;
- length of board = 3m
- pivot distance = 1.0m
- weight of diver = 500N
- weight of diving board = 280N
Force at the Support point
The force at the support point is the summation of all the forces multiplied by their respective distance
[tex]F_s = f_1 d_1 + f_2d_2\\f_s = 280*1.5 + 500*3\\f_s = 1920[/tex]
The supporting force at a 1m distance
[tex]f_s = \frac{1920}{1} = 1920N[/tex]
The force at the supporting point is 1920N
The force at Left-Hand end
This can be calculated as
[tex]F_l d - f_1d_1 - f_2d_2 = 0\\f_l d = f_1d_1 + f_2d_2\\d_1 = 1.50 - 1.0 = 0.50m\\d_2 = 2m\\d = 1\\f_l = \frac{(280*0.50) + (500*2)}{1}\\ f_l = 1140N[/tex]
The force at the left-hand end is 1140N
