Question 67
XE-DMCQ1 markNeeds review
An L-shaped rigid member is fixed at the midpoint of a simply-supported beam, as shown in figure (i). The member is subjected to a vertically downward force P at its free end. In an equivalent system, the member along with the applied load is replaced with a force Q = P and a moment M (see figure (ii)). Which of the following statements is correct?
(Negelect the mass of the beam and of the rigid member)
