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. 12-60, 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?

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→.

Question: Fig. 12-31 shows the anatomical structures in the lower leg and foot that are involved in standing on tiptoe, with the heel raised slightly off the floor so that the foot effectively contacts the floor only at point P. Assume distance a = 0 .5 cm , distanceb = 15 cm, and the person’s weight W = 900 N. Of the forces acting on the foot, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (up or down) of the force at point Afrom the calf muscle and the (c) magnitude and (d) direction (up or down) of the force at point Bfrom the lower leg bones?

A door has a height of 2.1″¾ along a yaxis that extends vertically upward and a width of 0.91″¾along an xaxis that extends outward from the hinged edge of the door. A hinge 0.30 m from the top and a hinge 0.30 m from the bottom each support half the door’s mass, which is27 k²µ . In unit-vector notation, (a) what is the forces on the door at the top hinge and (b) what is the forces on the door at the bottom hinge?

Question: In Fig 12-30, trying to get his car out of mud, a man ties one end of a rope around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 18 maway. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 550 N , displacing the center of the rope 0.30 m, but the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)
