Q1. a bus chassis 5.4m long consists of 2-side members and a number of cross members. each side member can be considered as a beam simply supported at points A and B,3.6m apart. A is positioned 0.9m from the front end of the frame and subjected to the following concetrated loads: engine support (front) 2KN,engine support (rear) 2.5KN, gear box support 0.5KN and the body W KN. the distances of these loads from the front end of the frame are respectively 0.6m,1.8m,2.4m and 3m. if the reaction at A is 8.5 KN, determine,the magnitude of the load W due to the vertical body& the magnitude support B
