JAMB Physics 1979 Question 25

A uniform beam HK of length 10 m and weighing 200 N is supported at both ends as shown in Fig. 7. A man weighing 1000 N stands at a point P on the beam. If the reactions at H and K are respectively 800 N and 400 N, then the distance HP is

1. A.4 m
2. B.3⅓ m
3. C.3 m
4. D.6⅔ m
5. E.7 m
