Problems 33 and 34 are paired. One end of a uniform beam that weighs 2.80 102 N is attached to a wall with a hinge pin. The other end is supported by a cable making the angles shown in Figure P14.33. Find the tension in the cable. FIGURE P14.33 Problems 33 and 34.
In the figure, horizontal scaffold 2, with uniform mass m2 = 29 kg and length L2 = 2.3 m, hangs from horizontal scaffold 1, with uniform mass m1 = 54 kg. A 17 kg box of nails lies on scaffold 2, centered at distance d = 0.80 m from the left end. What is the tension T in the cable indicated?
Suppose the length L of a uniform bar is 3.20 m and its mass M =15.2 Kg. Also, m1 = 11.4 kg, m2 = 24.8 kg, m3 = 17.3 kg, and the angle θ = 32 ̊. The distance from wall to the center of mass of m1 is 1.02 m, m2 is 2.10 m, and m3 is 3.20 m. What is the tension in the wire?
A uniform horizontal beam 10.0 m long and a mass of 82 kg is attached to support cables on either end. The cable on the left end makes an angle of 120 with x-axis and the cable on the right end makes an angle of 30̊ with the x-axis. If a person of mass 82 kg stands 7 m from the right end, find (a) the magnitude of the tensions TL and TR in the cables.
A uniform plank of length 2.00 m and mass 30.0 kg is supported by three ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors. Find the tension in each rope when a 700 N person is d = 0.500 m from the left end
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?
