Question
OU President Harroz is hanging an OU banner outside of Boyd house. The banner is hanging
from a bar of length L that is supported by a cable attached a distance L/2 above the end of
the bar.
There are two options, attach the cable to the end of the bar (blue cable) or at a point
somewhere nearer the middle of the bar (red cable). Let Fend be the tension if a cable is
attached to the end of the bar and Fmid be the tension if a cable is attached closer to the
middle of the bar. (There is only one cable at a time.)
Let the mass of the sign be 6.07 kg and the mass of the bar be 4.02 kg. Let the red cable be
attached a distance 0.60 L from the right end of the bar.
What is the ratio of the forces, Fmid/Fend? Give your answer to three significant digits to avoid
being counted off due to rounding. As this is a ratio, there are no units.
