11.52 · A Truck on a Drawbridge. A loaded cement mixer drives onto an old drawbridge, where it stalls with its center of gravity three-quarters of the way across the span. The truck driver radios for help, sets the handbrake, and waits. Meanwhile, a boat approaches, so the drawbridge is raised by means of a cable attached to the end opposite the hinge (Fig. P11.52). The draw- bridge is 40.0 m long and has a mass of 18,000 kg; its center of gravity is at its midpoint. The cement mixer, with driver, has mass 30,000 kg. When the drawbridge has been raised to an angle of 30° above the horizontal, the cable makes an angle of 70° with the surface of the bridge. (a) What is the tension T in the cable when the drawbridge is held in this position? (b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the force the hinge exerts on the span?

A 480 mm long thighbone (femur), which is the largest and longest bone in the human body, has a cross sectional area of 7.7 × 10–4 m2. A safety factor of 4 applies and the maximum compressional stress that a bone can withstand is 1.6 × 108 N/m2 before it breaks. Young’s Modulus (E ) of a bone at room temperature is 15 × 109 Pa. How much will it compress to support a weight of 1.2 × 105 N?
The left-hand end of a uniform rod of mass 2.00 kgkg and length 1.10 mm is attached to a vertical wall by a frictionless hinge. The rod is held in a horizontal position by an aluminum wire that runs between the right-hand end of the rod and a point on the wall that is above the hinge. The cross-sectional radius of the wire is 2.50 mmmm, and the wire makes an angle of 30.0∘∘ with the rod. What is the length of the wire? Express your answer with the appropriate units. An object of mass 90.0 kgkg is suspended from the right-hand end of the rod. What is the increase in the length of the wire when this object is added? Express your answer with the appropriate units. In your analysis do you need to be concerned that the lengthening of the wire means that the rod is no longer horizontal?
A bob of mass 30 kg hangs from a copper wire ( Y= 11x10 ^10 N/m^2). The wire has an initial length Li = 2 m and a cross sectional diameter of 2.0 mm . The tension in the wire causes it to stretch by an amount ( delta L) which is equal to what?
