Chapter 15, Problem 15.59P
CP A 1.80-m-long uniform bar that weighs 638 N is suspended in a horizontal position by two vertical wires that are attached to the ceiling. One wire is aluminum and the other is copper. The aluminum wire is attached to the left-hand end of the bar, and the copper wire is attached 0.40 m to the left of the right-hand end. Each wire has length 0.600 in and a circular cross section with radius 0.280 mm. What is the fundamental frequency of transverse standing waves for each wire?

- Figure P12.38 shows a light truss formed from three struts lying in a plane and joined by three smooth hinge pins at their ends. The truss supports a downward force of F=1000N applied at the point B. The truss has negligible weight. The piers at A and C are smooth. (a) Given 1 = 30.0 and 2 = 45.0, find nA and nC. (b) One can show that the force any strut exerts on a pin must be directed along the length of the strut as a force of tension or compression. Use that fact to identify the directions of the forces that the struts exert on the pins joining them. Find the force of tension or of compression in each of the three bars.
