a vertical uniform beam of length Lthat is hinged at its lower end.A horizontal force F is applied to the beam at distance y from the lower end. The beam remainsvertical because of a cable attached at the upper end, at angle uwith the horizontal. gives the tension T in the cableas a function of the position of the applied force given as a fractiony/L of the beam length.The scale of the T axis is set by Ts= 600 N.Figure 12-49c gives the magnitude Fh of the horizontal force on thebeam from the hinge, also as a function of y/L. Evaluate (a) angle uand (b) the magnitude of .
Two men are carrying a ladder of length l by supporting it at its ends. The ladder is horizontal, and its center of gravity is 1/4 of the way from one end. At what distance x from this end must a can of paint, of mass 3/4 of that of the ladder, be suspended so that the men carry equal loads?
A 183.6 kg uniform, horizontal beam is hinged at one end and at the other is supported by a cable that is at 28 degrees to the vertical. The beam is 2.75 m long. Calculate the magnitude of the force (in N) at the hinge .
