A wooden door 2.1 m high and 0.90 m wide is hung by two hinges 1.8 m apart. The lower hinge is 15 cm above the bottom of the door. The center of mass of the door is at its geometric center, and the weight of the door is 260 N, which is supported equally by both hinges. Find the horizontal force exerted by each hinge on the door.
A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P12.40, with AC = BC = = 4.00 m. A painter of mass m = 70.0 kg stands on the ladder d = 3.00 m from the bottom.

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?
