Question 51
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
Two cantilever beams AB and DC are in contact with each other at their free ends through a roller as shown in the figure. Both beams have a square cross section of 50 mm x 50 mm, and the elastic modulus E = 70 GPa. If beam AB is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN/m, then the compressive force experienced by the roller is __________ kN (round off to one decimal place).
