Concept explainers

Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

A wooden door 2.1 m high and 0.90 m wide is hung by two hinges 1.8 m apart. The lower hinge is 15 cm above the bottom of the door. The center of mass of the door is at its geometric center, and the weight of the door is 260 N, which is supported equally by both hinges. Find the horizontal force exerted by each hinge on the door.
A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward force of 200 N acts at the right end.

A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = ℓ. A painter of mass m stands on the ladder a distance d from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately. Figure P10.73 Problems 73 and 74.
A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of 60 kg and the girl's mass is 50 kg. If the boy sits 1.5 m from the pivot point on one side of the seesaw, where must the girl sit on the other side for equilibrium? 8 m B) 1.3 m C) 2.5 m D) 3.0 m
Two children of mass 15 kg and 35 kg sit balanced on a seesaw with the pivot point located at the center of the seesaw. If the children are separated by a distance of 3.0 m, at what distance, in meters, from the pivot point is the smaller child sitting in order to maintain the balance?
An 8.00 m long beam with a mass of 8.70 kg is suspended horizontally from a post, as shown. The left end of the beam is attached to a frictionless hinge on the vertical post that allows the beam to rotate up and down freely. The right end of the beam is supported by a wire that runs to the top of the post. The wire makes a 50° angle with the vertical post. The beam's shape is symmetric and it is made of a homogeneous material so that its center of mass is located at its geometric center. What tension in the wire is required to support the beam horizontally?

A bean of wood with negligible mass and the lenght 5.0 m is placed on a tirangular support. A mass of 9.5 kg is hanging on the left end of the beam, and a box with mass 23kg is placed on the beam. In order to prevent the beam form moving and to keep it in equilibrium, a person has to support the beam at the right end. IF the distance from the pivot to the hanging mass is 1.2 m, and the distance from the pivot to the point where the force from the box is applied on te beam is 2.3 m, with that magnitude of force F in the unit N , does the person have to hold the beam tokeep the equilibrium?
