A fisherman has caught a fish on his pole, and to keep the pole steady he has to apply an upward force of F2 = 265 N at an angle of 58° with respect to the pole (see figure). The length of his pole is 3.2 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.65 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1. Part (a) With how much force, F1, in newtons, does he have to push straight downward on the end of his pole to keep the pole from moving? You may assume the pole is massless. Part (b) What is the mass of the fish on the end of the pole, in kilograms?

Two uniform planks, each of mass m = 7.45 kg and length L = 2.51 m, are connected by a hinge at the top and by a chain of negligible mass attached at their centers, as shown in the figure.

Forces F→1, F→2, and F→3 act on the structure of the figure, shown in an overhead view. We wish to put the structure in equilibrium by applying a fourth force, at a point such as P.

A uniform beam of length L = 2.2 m and mass M = 33 kg has its lower end fixed to pivot at a point P on the floor, making an angle θ = 15° as shown in the digram. A horizontal cable is attached at its upper end B to a point A on a wall.

A uniform horizontal beam 5.00 m long and weighting 3.03 102 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection that allows the beam to rotate. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53.0° with the horizontal (Figure (a)). If a person weighing 6.05 102 N stands 1.60 m from the wall, find the magnitude of the tension in the cable and the force exerted by the wall on the beam. T = N Rx = N Ry = N Even if we selected some other axis for the torque equation, the solution would be the same. For example, if the axis were to pass through the center of gravity of the beam, the torque equation would involve both T and Ry. Together with Equations (1) and (2), however, the unknowns could still be found—a good exercise. In this example, notice the steps of the Problem-Solving Strategy could be carried out in the explicit recommended order.QUESTION What happens to the tension in the cable if the man in Figure (a) moves farther away from the wall?
