Question

A long uniform board weighs 52.8 N (10.6 lbs) rests on a support at its mid point. Two children weighing 206.0 N (41.2 lbs) and 272.0 N (54.4 lbs) stand on the board so that the board is balanced.
What is the upward force exerted on the board by the support?

Answer 1

The upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.

Upward force exerted on the board by the support

The upward force exerted on the board by the support is calculated as follows;

F(up) = 52.8 N  +  206.0 N  +  272.0 N

F(up) = 530.8 N

Thus, the upward force exerted on the board by the support is 530.8 N.
