Task 1 This task provides evidence for [P1]

For the force system shown in Figure 1 do both the parts about
point A:

A) Determine the magnitude, direction and position of the line of


action of the resultant.
B) Determine the magnitude, direction and position of the line of
action of the equilibrant.

The equilibrant force, this would be exactly the same size and having the same distance from A ;
however, the force would act in the opposite direction.

Task 2 This task provides evidence for [P2]

For the beam system shown in Figure 2, determine the reactions at the supports.
Considering P as the pivot and by the application of
conditions of equilibrium:
