The figure shows three boards clamped together. The center board weighs 93.5 N, and the coefficient of static friction between the boards is 0.490. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal compression forces (in N) acting on either side of the center board so it does not slip?
Using the method of joints, determine the force in members AG and FB of the roof truss as shown in Fig. 1. State whether the members (AG and FB) are in tension or compression.
A uniform beam 4.2 m long and weighing 2200 N carries a 3700 N weight 1.50 m from the far end, as shown in the figure below. It is supported horizontally by a hinge at the wall and a metal wire at the far end. 1) How strong does the wire have to be? That is, what is the minimum tension it must be able to support without breaking? Express your answer in newtons. 2) What are the horizontal component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam? Express your answer in newtons. 3) What are the vertical component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam? Express your answer in newtons.
One end of a uniform beam that weighs 2.95 ✕ 102 N is attached to a wall with a hinge pin. The other end is supported by a cable making the angles shown in the figure below. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge pin on the beam. (Assume ?1 = 23° and ?2 = 38°. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume that the +x direction points horizontally outward from the wall and that the +y direction points up along the wall.) Fhorizontal __________ Fvertical _________
One end of a uniform beam that weighs 3.45 ✕ 102 N is attached to a wall with a hinge pin. The other end is supported by a cable making the angles shown in the figure below. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge pin on the beam. (Assume ?1 = 27° and ?2 = 32°. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume that the +x direction points horizontally outward from the wall and that the +y direction points up along the wall.)
One end of a uniform beam that weighs 3.50 ✕ 102 N is attached to a wall with a hinge pin. The other end is supported by a cable making the angles shown in the figure below. Find the tension in the cable. (Assume ?1 = 20° and ?2 = 37°.) Note: The answer is 244 N but I have no idea how to get there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Suppose the weight of the drawbridge in the figure is supported entirely by its hinges and the opposite shore, so that its cables are slack. The mass of the bridge is 2500 kg. What percent of the weight is supported by the opposite shore if the point of support is at the very end of the drawbridge? What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force the hinges exert on the bridge under these circumstances?
A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37.5 ∘∘ angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs 45000 NN, is 16.5 mm long, and pivots about a hinge at its lower end. A cable is connected 3.00 mm from the hinge, as measured along the bridge, and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. 1)What is the tension in the cable? 2)Find the magnitude of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. 3)Find the direction of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. 4)If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the initial angular acceleration of the bridge?
goodeats.png The uniform horizontal beam supporting the sign is 1.39 m long, has a mass of 12.51 kg, and is hinged to the wall The sign itself is uniform with a mass of 27.08 kg and overall length of 1.35 m. The two wires supporting the sign are each 33.92 cm long, are 34.34 cm apart, and are equally spaced from the middle of the sign. The cable supporting the beam is 3.34 m long. What minimum vertical force must the hinge be able to support without pulling out of the wall? Note: Write your answers with 3 digits after the decimal point.
A 183.6 kg uniform, horizontal beam is hinged at one end and at the other is supported by a cable that is at 28 degrees to the vertical. The beam is 2.75 m long. Calculate the magnitude of the force (in N) at the hinge .
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:
A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 38o angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weights 55000 N and is 15.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from the hinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. What is the tension in the cable? Find the magnitude and direction of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the drawbridge just after the cable breaks? What is the angular speed of the drawbridge as it becomes horizontal? What is the velocity of the drawbridge, just before it “hits” (i.e. goes horizontal)?
