Question 1: Determine the coordinates of the centroid of the shaded area.

Question 2: Calculate the support reactions at A and B for the loaded beam.

Question 3: Calculate the support reactions at A and B for the loaded beam.

Question 4: The coefficient of static friction μs between the 100-lb body and the 15° wedge
is 0.20. Determine the magnitude of the force P required to begin raising the 100-lb body if (a)
rollers of negligible friction are present under the wedge, as illustrated, and (b) the rollers are
removed and the coefficient of static friction μs = 0.20 applies at this surface as well.
