Weight of staging.
Answer to Problem 45A
Weight of staging,
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is,
Staging is in mechanical equilibrium.
Formula Used:
For mechanical equilibrium, summation of all forces is zero, that is
Calculation:
Since, the staging is in mechanical equilibrium so,
Upward force = Downward force
So,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the weight of the staging is
