Example 3 - another board and mass
A board has a box in the middle. The board is supported by two supports, one on the right and one on the left. If the box is moved to the left what will happen to the two support forces?
- Nothing (0/34) (0%)
- Both support forces increase (0/34) (0%)
- Both support forces decrease (0/34) (0%)
- The force from the left support increases and the force from the right support decreases (32/34) (94%)
- The force from the left support decreases and the force from the right support increases (2/34) (6%)
