Chapter 4, Problem 4.17P
A simply supported beam spans 10 m. The beam supports a single concentrated load of 4 kN. How far from the left support should the 4-kN load be placed so that the left reaction is 2.70 kN? Neglect the weight of the beam.

In the crane shown, assume that the horizontal arm of the crane weighs 200 kg/m. If a
counterweight of 100kN is used, what is the capacity P of the crane? Also find the moment
at the base of the crane when no load is being carried (i.e., when P=0). What weight should
be added so that the capacity would rise to 8 tons?
