Use the second condition for equilibrium(net Ï„=0)to calculateFPinExample 9.1, employing any data given or solved for in part (a) of the example.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The calculated force is FP=568N.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • The mass is,m1=26kg.
  • The distance from the hinge is,r1=1.60m.
  • The mass of the other is, m2=32kg.
  • The distance of the other from the hinge is,r2=1.30m.
02

Introduction of force

When the system is in equilibrium, the net force acting on a body will be equal to zero. In other words, the forces will balance each other, and the system will remain in equilibrium as long as no external disturbance is there.

03

Calculation of the force

The net torque is zero; we can write the equation as,

∑τ=0FP×r1-W2r1+r2=0Fp×r1-m2gr1+r2=0

Here g is the gravitational acceleration.

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

FP×1.60=32×9.8×1.60+1.30FP=32×9.8×1.60+1.301.60FP=568N

Hence, the force isFP=568N.

A \({\rm{17}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{m}}\)high and \({\rm{11}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{m}}\)long wall under construction and its bracing are shown in Figure \({\rm{9}}{\rm{.32}}\). The wall is in stable equilibrium without the bracing but can pivot at its base. Calculate the force exerted by each of the 10 braces if a strong wind exerts a horizontal force of \({\rm{650}}\;{\rm{N}}\)on each square meter of the wall. Assume that the net force from the wind acts at a height halfway up the wall and that all braces exert equal forces parallel to their lengths. Neglect the thickness of the wall.
