A uniform beam is 5.0″¾long and has a mass of 53 k²µ. In Fig. 12-74, the beam is supported in a horizontal position by a hinge and a cable, with angleθ=60°. In unit-vector notation, what is the force on the beam rom the hinge?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force on the beam in unit vector notation,FP=(−150 N)i^+(260 N)j^ .

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

Mass, m=53 k²µ

Length of the beam,L=5.0″¾

θ=60°

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

Using the condition for the static equilibrium, you can write the equation for forces for the given figure. In addition, the equation for the torque can be written about a pivot point. The equations are given below and can be solved for the unknown forces.

Calculation for theforce on the beam from the hinge

As we see the diagram, we can say that

Tsin60°×L−mg×(L2)=0Tsin60°=mg×(L2)LTsin60°=mg2sin60Tsin60°=300 N

As the system is in equilibrium, we can say

∑Fx=0∑Fy=0

So,

FPx=−Tcosθ=−(300 N)(0.5)=−150 NFPy=Mg−Tsin60°=(519.4 â¶Ä‹N)−(300 N×0.8660)=260 N

So, we get

FP=(−150 N)i^+(260 N)j^

In Fig. 12-41, a climber with a weight of 533.8 N is held by a belay rope connected to her climbing harness and belay device; the force of the rope on her has a line of action through her center of mass. The indicated angles are θ=40.0°andϕ=30.0°. If her feet are on the verge of sliding on the vertical wall, what is the coefficient of static friction between her climbing shoes and the wall?

In Fig. 12-64, block A (mass 10 kg)is in equilibrium, but itwould slip if block B (mass 5.0 kg)were any heavier. For angle θ=30°what is the coefficient of static friction between block Aand the surfacebelow it?

Figure 12-49ashows a vertical uniform beam of length Lthat is hinged at its lower end. A horizontal forceFa→ is applied tothe beam at distance yfrom the lower end. The beam remainsvertical because of a cable attached at the upper end, at angleθwith the horizontal. Figure12-49agives the tension Tin the cableas a function of the position of the applied force given as a fraction y/Lof the beam length. The scale of the Taxis is set byTs=600N.Figuregives the magnitude Fhof the horizontal force on thebeam from the hinge, also as a function of y/L. Evaluate (a) angleθand (b) the magnitude of Fa→.

Three piñatas hang from the (stationary) assembly of massless pulleys and cords seen in Fig. 12-21. One long cord runs from the ceiling at the right to the lower pulley at the left, looping halfway around all the pulleys. Several shorter cords suspend pulleys from the ceiling or piñatas from the pulleys. The weights (in newtons) of two piñatas are given.

(a) What is the weight of the third piñata? (Hint:A cord that loops halfway around a pulley pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)

(b) What is the tension in the short cord labeled with T?

A tunnel of length L=150 m, height H=7.2 m, and width 5.8 m (with a flat roof) is to be constructed at distance d=60 m beneath the ground. (See the Figure.) The tunnel roof is to be supported entirely by square steel columns, each with a cross-sectional area of 960 cm2. The mass of 1.0 cm3 of the ground material is 2.8 g. (a) What is the total weight of the ground material the columns must support? (b) How many columns are needed to keep the compressive stress on each column at one-half its ultimate strength?
