Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Equilibrium and Elasticity: Problem Problem_45

In Fig. 12.42, a lead brick rests horizontally on cylinders A and B. The areas of the top faces of the cylinders are related by \( A_A = 2A_B \); the Young’s moduli of the cylinders are related by \( E_A = 2E_B \). The cylinders had identical lengths before the brick was placed on them. What fraction of the brick’s mass is supported (a) by cylinder A and (b) by cylinder B? The horizontal distances between the center of mass of the brick and the centerlines of the cylinders are \( d_A \) for cylinder A and \( d_B \) for cylinder B. (c) What is the ratio \( d_A/d_B \)?
