Find the magnitude of the tension in each supporting cable shown below. In each case, the weight of the suspended body is 100.0 N and the masses of the cables are negligible.
At a museum, a 1300-kg model aircraft is hung from a lightweight beam of length 12.0 m that is free to pivot about its base and is supported by a massless cable (Fig. P14.38). Ignore the mass of the beam. a. What is the tension in the section of the cable between the beam and the wall? b. What are the horizontal and vertical forces that the pivot exerts on the beam? FIGURE P14.38 (a) From the free-body diagram, the angle that the string tension makes with the beam is = 55.0 + 18.0 = 73.0, and the perpendicular component of the string tension is FT sin73.0. Summing torques around the base of the rod gives (Eq. 14.2): =0:(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0+FT(12.0m)sin73.0=0FT=(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0(12.0m)sin73.0FT=7.65103N Figure P14.38ANS (b) Using force balance (Eq. 14.1): Fx=0:FHFTcos18.0=0FH=FTcos18.0=[(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0(12.0m)sin73.0]cos18.0=7.27103NFy=0:FVFTsin18.0(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)=0 FV=FTsin18.0+(1300kg)gFV=[(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0(12.0m)sin73.0]sin18.0+(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)FV=1.51104N
One end of a uniform 4.00-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of = 37 with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in Figure P12.23. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is s= 0.500. Determine tile minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
