A crane in a marble quarry is mounted on the quarry’s rock walls and is supporting a 2500-kg marble slab as shown in Fig. 12.26. The center of mass of the 830-kg boom is located one-third of the way from the pivot end of its 15-m length, as shown. Find the tension in the horizontal cable that supports the boom.

- A sign is supported by a uniform horizontal boom of length 3.10 m and weight 72.0 N. A cable, inclined at an angle of 16 °with the boom, is attached at a distance of 2.71 m from the hinge at the wall. The weight of the sign is 108.0 N. What is the tension in the cable and what are the horizontal and vertical forces Fx and Fy exerted on the boom by the hinge? Comment on the magnitude of Fy. T= In N Fx= in N Fy= in N The magnitude of Fy is select (small or large) compared to that of Fx and T.arrow_forwardIf the roller at B can sustain a maximum load of 4.5 kN, determine the largest magnitude of each of the three forces F that can be supported by the truss.arrow_forwardTwo ladders, 4.00 m and 3.00 m long, are hinged at point A and tied together by a horizontal rope 0.90 m above the floor. The ladders weigh 480 N and 360 N, respectively, and the center of gravity of each is at its center. Assume that the floor is freshly waxed and frictionless. (a) Find the upward force at the bottom of each ladder. (b) Find the tension in the rope. (c) Find the magnitude of the force one ladder exerts on the other at point A. (d) If an 800-N painter stands at point A, find the tension in the horizontal rope.arrow_forward
- A uniform horizontal beam with a length of ℓ = 8.00 m and a weight of Wb =200 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of φ = 53.0° with the beam (as shown). A person of weight Wp = 600 N stands a distance d = 2.00 m from the wall. Find the tension in the cable as well as the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the wall on the beam.arrow_forwardWhen you “weigh” an object on one pan of an equal arm balance by putting standard masses on the other pan until the beam is horizontal, are you actually determining the object’s weight or its mass?arrow_forwardA horizontal plank 4.00 m long and having mass 20.0 kg rests on two pivots, one at the left end and a second 1.00 m from the right end. Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the second pivot.arrow_forward
- Jack and Rose are carrying a uniform rod that is 3.00m long and weighs 160.N. If Rose lifts at one end with an upward force equal to 60.0N, how far from Rose should Jack lift so that the rod will be horizontal and in equilibrium?arrow_forwardIn order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?arrow_forwardA uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.arrow_forward
- In Figure 9.21, the cg of the pole held by the pole vaulter is 2.00 m from the left hand, and the hands are 0.700 m apart. Calculate the force exerted by (a) his right hand and (b) his left hand. (c) If each hand supports half the weight of the pole in Figure 9.19, show that the second condition for equilibrium (net =0 ) is satisfied for a pivot other than the one located at the center of gravity of the pole. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium described above. Figure 9.21 A pole vaulter is holding a pole horizontally with both hands. The center of gravity is to the left side of the vaulter.arrow_forwardNote: Unless stated otherwise, the weights of the wires, rods, and other elements are assumed to be negligible. Elastic moduli of selected materials are given In Table 12.1 13.Why can a squirrel jump from a tree branch to the ground and run away undamaged, while a human could break a bone In such a fall?arrow_forwardA non-uniform rod of length 1.00 m is hung horizontally, supported by strings on bothends. If the center of gravity of the rod is 0.200 m from the left end, what is themagnitude of the tension applied by the string on the right end of the rod? A. 50% of the weight of the rod B. Cannot be determined unless the weight of the rod is given C. 80% of the weight of the rod D.20% of the weight of the rodarrow_forward
