This document contains 4 problems involving reducing distributed loads to equivalent resultant forces and moments. Problem 1 asks to find the location of the equivalent force on a beam. Problem 2 asks to find the location of the equivalent force and couple moment at a point. Problem 3 asks to determine the resultant force of wet concrete pressure and the height of a bracing strut. Problem 4 asks to replace a uniform and semi-parabolic distributed load with a single resultant force and specify its location.

equivalent resultant force and specify its location on the beam, measured from point B.
Solution:
Problem 2 (Reduction of a distributed load):
Replace the loading by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment at point A. Solution:
Problem 3 (Reduction of a distributed load):
Wet concrete exerts a pressure distribution
along the wall of the form. Determine the resultant force of this distribution and specify the height h where the bracing strut should be placed so that it lies through the line of action of the resultant force. The wall has a width of 5 m. Solution: Free Body Diagram: Problem 4 (Reduction of a distributed load):
The lifting force along the wing of
a jet aircraft consists of a uniform distribution along AB, and a semi parabolic distribution along BC with origin at B. Replace this loading by a single resultant force and specify its location measured from point A.
