The horizontal beam is supported by springs at its ends. Each spring has a stiffness of k = 4.6 kN/m and is originally unstretched when the beam is in the horizontal position. Determine the angle of tilt of the beam if a load of 800 N is applied at point C as shown. Determine the angle of tilt of the beam.

To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.40-kg block and a vertical wall, a spring (k = 770 N/m) is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward (see figure). If the spring is compressed by 0.048 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?
Given the figure shown below, what is the mass of block B on the smooth incline if the system is in static equilibrium? A spring, with a spring constant of 300 N/m and resting length of 1.5 m, runs from block B up to A.
A block of mass M = 9 (kg) is tied to a homogeneous rope of mass m = 1 (kg) L = 1 (m) length. As shown in the figure, when the horizontal force F = 100 (N) is applied to the end of the rope, the block moves with acceleration a. What is the tensile force (N) at the midpoint of the rope? Neglect the rope hanging due to its weight.
A One end of a metal rod of weight Fg and length L presses against a corner between a wall and the floor (Fig. P14.64). A rope is attached to the other end of the rod. Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope if the angle between the rod and the rope is 90.

Between the wall and block B there is static friction, of coefficient 0.80 and the spring of block A, with elastic constant 580 N/m is stretched by x = 2.60 cm (elastic force points in the +y direction).The force F has a value of 100 N at time t = 0, but gradually reducing according to the expression F = 100 − 16t N (subject at F > 0).After how long will B slip?
We analyzed the biceps muscle example with the angle between forearm and upper arm set at 90 degree (see figure below). Find the force exerted by the biceps muscle when the angle is 150 degree and the forearm is in a downward position. (Assume that r_1 = 5.0 cm, r_2 = 12 cm, r_3 = 30 cm, m_a = 2.4kg, and m_b = 4.2 kg. Enter the magnitude.) N
An aluminum block is placed at rest on an inclined plane that is made of steel. Once released, the block remains at rest on the incline. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between aluminum and steel are 0.61 and 0.47 respectively. The aluminum block has a mass of 3.45 kg and the incline makes an angle of 12.5° relative to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the static frictional force between the block and incline?
A horizontal beam of length 4.08m and weight 130N is attached to a vertical wall at a right angle.

For the adapted shuffleboard device in Prob 13.28, you decide to utilize an elastic cord instead of a compression spring to propel the puck forward. When the cord is stretched directly between points A and B , the tension is 20 N. The 425-gram puck is placed in the center and pulled back through a distance of 400 mm; a force of 100 N is required to hold it at this location. Knowing that the coefficient of friction is 0.3, determine how far the puck will travel.Reference to Problem 13.28:
An archer must exert a force of 345 N on the bowstring shown in Figure (a) such that the string makes an angle of ? = 40.0° with the vertical. If the applied force is replaced by a stretched spring as in Figure (b) and the spring is stretched 27.0 cm from its unstretched length, what is the spring constant?
