Question

A 3m long balance beam is simply supported with an overhang at each end of a=0.5m. A gymnast weighing 50kg is standing a distance c to the right of support A and a distance b to the left of support B. How does the maximum bending moment in the beam depend on the distance c? Express your answer in terms of c assuming units of Nm for the bending moment. Please take the acceleration due to gravity to be 10m/s2.

Mmax=?
