Chapter 12, Problem 17P
In Fig. 12-34, a uniform beam of weight 500 N and length 3.0 m is suspended horizontally. On the left it is hinged to a wall; on the right it is supported by a cable bolted to the wall at distance D above the beam. The least tension that will snap the cable is 1200 N. (a) What value of D corresponds to that tension? (b) To prevent the cable from snapping, should D be increased or decreased from that value?

5. Two identical, uniform beams of length 3 m and weighing 260 N each are
connected at one end by a frictionless hinge. A light horizontal crossbar, attached at the
midpoints of the beams maintains an angle 50° between the beams. The beams are
suspended from the ceiling by vertical wires so they form a V. See figure. (a) What force
does the crossbar exert on each beam? (b) Is the crossbar under compression or tension,
i.e. are the ends of the crossbar being pushed together or stretched farther apart? (c) What
force (magnitude and direction) does the hinge exert on each beam?
