Chapter 12, Problem 31P
GO In Fig. 12-47, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords. One cord makes the angle θ = 36.9° with the vertical; the other makes the angle ϕ = 53.1° with the vertical. If the length L of the bar is 6.10 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass.

11-30 Two blocks are suspended on a continuous inex-
tensible cord as shown in Fig. P11-30. Determine the angle
O for equilibrium if the masses of blocks A and B are 50 and
40 kg, respectively.
Fig. P11-30
(a) A uniform steel beam of mass 200.00 kg is held up by a steel cable that is connected to
the beam a distance L 6.00 m from the wall, at an angle 0=30.00° as shown Figure 1.
The beam is bolted to the wall with an unknown force F exerted by the wall on the beam.
An object of mass 600.00 kg, resting on top of the beam, is placed a distance d 2.00 m
from the wall. Solve this problem fully, by finding the tension in the cable, the horizontal
and vertical components of the force that the wall exerts on the beam and its magnitude
and its direction.
Figure 1
The system in the figure is in equilibrium. A concrete block of mass 185 kg hangs from the end of the uniform strut of mass 45.5 kg. For
angles o = 30.5° and 0 = 60.8°, find (a) the tension Tin the cable and the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the
strut from the hinge.
