centroid. The plate center is M.

9) CE Problem2
Calculate the supports reactions at A and B for the beam
subjected to the two linearly distributed loads.

6) CE Problem2
Determine the reaction at points A and B of the beam
subjected to the elliptical and uniform load distributions. At
which surface, upper or lower, is the reaction at A exerted?

10) CE Problem2
