Question: In Fig.12-34, a uniform beam of weight 500 Nand length 3.00 m is suspended horizontally. On the left it is hinged to a wall; on the right it is supported by a cable bolted to the wall at distance Dabove the beam. The least tension that will snap the cable is 1200 N. (a) What value of D corresponds to that tension? (b) To prevent the cable from snapping, should Dbe increased or decreased from that value?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

a. D = 0.64 m

b. Value of D should be increased to prevent the cable from snapping.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

W=500NL=3.0mT=1200N

02

Concept and formula used in the given question 

Using the concept of static equilibrium, you can write the equation for torque in terms of forces and their distances from the pivot point. Solving these equations, you can find the unknown distance. The formula used is given below.

Static Equilibrium conditions:

Fx=0Fy=0=0

03

(a) Calculation for the value of D corresponds to that tension 

Applying equilibrium condition for torque:

=0TLcos-MgL2=0(12003cos)-5001.5=0=780

From triangle geometry:

tan=LDtan780=3DD=0.64m

Hence, D 0.64 m

04

(b) Calculation to prevent the cable from snapping, should D be increased or decreased from that value 

Increasing the distance d would increase the angle. The higher the angle, the smaller the tension would be. This is as the weight of the beam would be supported by the vertical component of the tension which isTsin . Hence to prevent the cable from snapping, we have to increase the distance D.

Question: Figure 12-55 shows the stress鈥搒train curve for a material. The scale of the stress axis is set by,s = 300 in units of106N/m2. (a) What is the Young鈥檚 modulus? And (b) What is the approximate yield strength for this material?

Figure:

A cylindrical aluminum rod, with an initial length of 0.8000鈥尘 and radius1000.0鈥坝纠 , is clamped in place at one end and then stretched by a machine pulling parallel to its length at its other end. Assuming that the rod鈥檚 density (mass per unit volume) does not change, find the force magnitude that is required of the machine to decrease the radius to999.9鈥坝纠 . (The yield strength is not exceeded.)

A makeshift swing is constructed by making a loop in one end of a rope and tying the other end to a tree limb. A child is sitting in the loop with the rope hanging vertically when the child鈥檚 father pulls on the child with a horizontal force and displaces the child to one side. Just before the child is released from rest, the rope makes an angle of 15with the vertical and the tension in the rope is 280鈥塏 .

(a) How much does the child weigh?

(b) What is the magnitude of the (horizontal) force of the father on the child just before the child is released?

(c) If the maximum horizontal force the father can exert on the child is 93N , what is the maximum angle with the vertical the rope can make while the father is pulling horizontally?

A cubical box is filled with sand and weighs 890N. We wish to 鈥渞oll鈥 the box by pushing horizontally on one of the upper edges. (a) What minimum force is required? (b) What minimum coefficient of static friction between box and floor is required? (c) If there is a more efficient way to roll the box, find the smallest possible force that would have to be applied directly to the box to roll it. (Hint:At the onset of tipping, where is the normal force located?)

In Fig. 12-60, a 103 kguniform log hangs by two steel wires, Aand B, both of radiuses 1.20 mm. Initially, wire Awas 2.50 mlong and 2.0 mmshorter than wire B. The log is now horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the forces on it from (a) wire Aand (b) wire B? (c) What is the ratio dA/dB?
