A 6.00 m uniform beam of mass 17.0 kg is hinged to a vertical wall. The beam is kept in a stationary horizontal position by an 8.00 m cable. One end of the cable is attached to the other end of the beam while the other end of the cable connects to the vertical wall 4.00 m above the hinge. When a 10.0 kg crate is placed on the beam 5.00 m from the vertical wall the system is in equilibrium. Compute the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction force on the beam from the wall
From the step ladder shown in the figure, sides AC and CE are each 2.44 m long and hinged at point C. Bar BD is a tie-rod 0.762 m long, halfway up. A man weighing 845 N climbs 1.8 m along the ladder. Assuming the floor is frictionless and neglecting the mass of the ladder, find the tension (in N) in the tie-rod.
A spade is modelled as a uniform rod, of mass 2kg and length 90cm, attached to a uniform square lamina, of side 20cm and mass 0.5kg.

A weight (with a mass of 71 kg) is suspended from a point near the right hand end of a uniform boom with a mass of 51 kg. To support the uniform boom, a cable runs from this same point to a wall (the left-hand vertical coordinate y = 7, x = 6) and by a pivot on the same wall at an elevation of 3 m. Calculate the tension T in the cable. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 Answer in units of N.
