A Horizontal Beam of Negligible Weight Is Simply Supported at Each

Short Answer

A horizontal beam of negligible weight is simply supported at each end by columns. When a vertical load as placed on a beam $1.00 \mathrm{~m}$ from the left end, the vertical upward reaction is the right column is $62.5 \mathrm{~N}$ . When the load is increased by $40.0 \mathrm{~N}$ , the reaction in the right column increases to $75.0 \mathrm{~N}$ . How long is the beam?
