Vertical reaction = wt Of cylinder - vertical Force.
Vertical force= specific weight * volume,
= 1000 * &pie; *1.5^2 * 4/2.
= 14137 kgf.

Ra= 20000-14137 = 5863 kgf.

Option A is correct.

Fy = 1000 * 9.81 * ( 3.14 * 1.5^2 * 4/2) = 138685.60 N.
138685.60 ÷ 9.81 = 14137.16 kgf.

(3.14 * 3^2 * 0.25 * 4 * 2000 + 1000 * 3)/9.81 = 6070.2.

Anyone explain the solution.

Baleno said:   8 years ago
The correct answer should be 12137. 1669 Newton this reaction is acting downward because the upward forces more than downward.

Cylinder weight will be 20000kgf.

Please explain me to get the answer.

Kumar Adarsh said:   7 years ago
Yes, right @Baleno.

F(verticle) = 3.142 * R^2 * L * 9.81.
