a uniform beam with a weight of 60 N and a length of 3.2 m is hinged at its lower end, and a horizontal force of magnitude 50 N acts at its upper end.The beam is held vertical by a cable that makes angle u = 25° with the ground and is attached to the beam at height h = 2.0 m. What are (a) the tension in the cable and (b) the force on the beam from the hinge in unit-vector notation?

a bar of length L is 3m and weight w is 131.7N it is supported at one end by a bolt in a wall and at its other end it is supported horizontally by a cable that forms a 30 degree angle with the bar. A weight of w = 389.9N is placed at x = 1.2m from the wall. What is the cable tension?
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 uniform horizontal beam 5.00 m long and weighting 3.03 102 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection that allows the beam to rotate. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53.0° with the horizontal (Figure (a)). If a person weighing 6.05 102 N stands 1.60 m from the wall, find the magnitude of the tension in the cable and the force exerted by the wall on the beam. T = N Rx = N Ry = N Even if we selected some other axis for the torque equation, the solution would be the same. For example, if the axis were to pass through the center of gravity of the beam, the torque equation would involve both T and Ry. Together with Equations (1) and (2), however, the unknowns could still be found—a good exercise. In this example, notice the steps of the Problem-Solving Strategy could be carried out in the explicit recommended order.QUESTION What happens to the tension in the cable if the man in Figure (a) moves farther away from the wall? The tension would…
