Problem 710 | Two simple beams at 90 degree to each other
Problem 710
Two timber beams are mounted at right angles and in contact with each other at their midpoints. The upper beam A is 2 in wide by 4 in deep and simply supported on an 8-ft span; the lower beam B is 3 in wide by 8 in deep and simply supported on a 10-ft span. At their cross-over point, they jointly support a load P = 2000 lb. Determine the contact force between the beams.

Moment of Inertia and Radius of Gyration
Moment of Inertia
Moment of inertia, also called the second moment of area, is the product of area and the square of its moment arm about a reference axis.
Moment of inertia about the x-axis:
$\displaystyle I_x = \int y^2 \, dA$
