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 .
If the elbow was flexed to 135°, would the internal force required by the biceps brachii be greater than or less than the force when the elbow was flexed to 90°? Why?
The figure shows three boards clamped together. The center board weighs 93.5 N, and the coefficient of static friction between the boards is 0.490. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal compression forces (in N) acting on either side of the center board so it does not slip?
