A uniform straight bar 2.00 m long and weighing 450 N is supported by two cables at its ends to the roof of a house. Cable 1 on the left end can withstand a maximum tension of 600 N without breaking, while Cable 2 on the right end can withstand a maximum tension of 500 N. You want to put additional weight on that bar. Calculate: (a) What is the maximum weight you can place on the bar without breaking any of the cables? (b) Where should you place this weight on the bar?
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.
