Reaction Force Calculator

The Reaction Force Calculator is a tool used to calculate the reaction force exerted on an object or structure in response to an applied force.

Formula

The formula to calculate the reaction force depends on the specific situation and the type of support or constraint involved.

Reaction Force = (Total Load * Distance to Support) / Beam Length

Example

Let’s say we have a beam with a length of 5 meters and a uniformly distributed load of 2000 Newtons. If one support is located at a distance of 2 meters from the left end of the beam, the reaction force at that support can be calculated as:

Reaction Force = (2000 * 2) / 5 = 800 Newtons
