 Numerical Problem 2.16: A tractor of weight 15000 N crosses a single span bridge of weight 8000 N and of length 21.0 m. The bridge span is supported half a meter from either end. The tractor's front wheels take 1/3 of the total weight of the tractor, and the rear wheels are 3 m behind the front wheels. Calculate the force on the bridge supports when the rear wheels are at the middle of the bridge span.

  2. Answer to 2.16 question
    R1+R2=15000+8000=23000
    If we suppose left support as R1 and right support as R2
    By taking moment about R1
    R2×20=5000 (7)+8000 (10)+10000 (10)
    Then R2= 10750=10.75kN by solving the above equation
    By 1st equation
    R1+R2=23000
    Substitute the value of R2
    Then R1=23000-10750=12.25kN
