h L GAS A 48.0 kg sign hangs at the end of a bar where L = 3.10 meters in length. A cable attaches to the end of the horizontal bar and to a wall 2.60 meters above where the bar is attached to the wall. The bar has a mass of 12-kg. What is the tension in the cable? Give your answer in Newtons to 3 significant figures (no decimal places in this case).

Show that, as explained in the text, a force F exerted on a flexible medium at its center and perpendicular to its length (such as on the tightrope wire in Figure 5.26) gives rise to a tension of magnitude T=F/2sin() .
The walkway ABC of the footbridge is stiffened by adding the cable ADC and the short post of length L. If the tension in the cable is not to exceed 420 lb, what is the smallest value of L for which the 160-lb person can be supported at B?
For the beam and loading shown, determine the tension in cable BC if P = 165.8, Q = 249.3, R = 355.4, S = 268.2, T = 117, a = 9.38, and b = 12.47. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places .
A 12m long post is bolted to the wall on its left end. It's right end is held horizontal by a wire that is attached to the wall, making a 35° angle with the post. If the post is 13kg what is the tension in the wire?
The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P4.77 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?
A 12m long post is bolted to the wall on its left end. It's right end is held horizontal by a wire that is attached to the wall, making a 35 degree angle with the post. If the post is 13 kg, what is the tension in the wire?
A uniform plank of length 2.00 m and mass 26.0 kg is supported by three ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors in the figure below. Find the tension in each rope when a 710–N person is d = 0.500 m from the left end. Answer the 3 boxes below:
Children playing pirates have suspended a uniform wooden plank with mass M = 13.4 kg, length ℓ = 2.40 m, and angle θ = 35.0°, as shown in the figure. Sophia, with a mass of m = 21.6 kg, is made to "walk the plank" and is d = 1.5 m from reaching the end of the plank. What is the tension acting on the rope at the end (i.e value of F3)?
A tutor told me that the answer to 1b was 10N but I don't understand why it would be 10N for the tension. If that is correct could someone break it down for me?
A ladder 4m long is leaning against a frictionless wall with its lower end 1.6m away from the wall. If the ladder weighs 150N, what forces does it exert on the wall F1 and on the ground F2?
A box on a 15-degree incline weighs 350N. Given that the system is in static equilibrium and us = 0.55 and uk = 0.42.a. what's the normal force (N) magnitude and what's its angle of direction with respect to the positive x-axis?b. what's the frictional force magnitude and it's angle of direction with respect to the positive x-axis?Now, a rope creates a tension T to pull the box in the direction 30 degrees upward with respect to the incline. This makes the box impending to slide.c. what's the magnitude of Td. what's the magnitude of N
How much compression acts on the hip during two-legged standing, given that the joint supports 250 N of body weight and the abduct muscles are producing 600 N of tension? What is the angle α of R?
