- You are asked to hang a uniform beam and sign using a cable that has a breaking strength of 417 N. The store owner desires that it hang out over the sidewalk as shown. The sign has a weight of 346 N and the beam’s weight is 78.0 N. The beam’s length is 1.50 m and the sign’s dimensions are 1.00 m horizontally × 0.800 m vertically. What is the minimum angle θ that you can have between the beam and cable?

- A uniform beam of mass m = 140.0 kg and length L = 2.40 m is supported by two columns at each end. The beam supports a heavy block of mass M = 220.0 kg, whose center of gravity is at a distance d = 0.720 cm from the left end of the beam. Find the forces exerted by the columns on the beam.arrow_forwardA uniform horizontal beam 5.00 m long and weighting 3.03 102 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection that allows the beam to rotate. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53.0° with the horizontal (Figure (a)). If a person weighing 6.05 102 N stands 1.60 m from the wall, find the magnitude of the tension in the cable and the force exerted by the wall on the beam. T = N Rx = N Ry = N Even if we selected some other axis for the torque equation, the solution would be the same. For example, if the axis were to pass through the center of gravity of the beam, the torque equation would involve both T and Ry. Together with Equations (1) and (2), however, the unknowns could still be found—a good exercise. In this example, notice the steps of the Problem-Solving Strategy could be carried out in the explicit recommended order.QUESTION What happens to the tension in the cable if the man in Figure (a) moves farther away from the wall?
