#10 Hanging Signs, Tension, and Torque
A 50 kg sign for a local business is hung from a bar which meets a wall at right angles as
shown in Figure 3. The bar is 1.5 meters long, and its mass may be neglected. The center
of mass of the sign is 1.0 meters from the wall (but 0.50 meters from the tip of the cable)
as indicated. A cable (we assume it to be massless) extends from the end of the rod to the
wall. Assume the rod is attached to the wall with a joint which permits the rod to rotate
freely. The angle between the cable and the bar is 30°. What is the tension in the cable?
Use g = 9.8 m/s².
