Question

1. A 160kg utility pole extends 12.0m above the ground. A horizontal force of 250N acts at its top and the pole is held in the vertical position by a cable.

a. Draw a free-body (or force) diagram for the pole.

b. Determine the tension in the cable.

c. What are the reaction forces exerted at the lower end of the pole by the ground?

 

2. A 40.0kg uniform platform is suspended by two cables, 2.00m apart, where the centre of the platform lies midway between the cables. A 5.00kg paint bucket is placed on the platform, 24.0cm to the right of the right cable. Determine the tension in each cable.
