Chapter 12: Q. 59 (page 333)

In Figure P12.59, an 80 kg construction worker sits down 2.0 m from the end of a 1450 kg
steel beam to eat his lunch. What is the tension in the cable?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tension in the cable is 1.53 x 104 N

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Mass of worker = 80 kg

worker sits 2.0 m from the end

Mass of steel beam = 1450 kg

02

Explanation

First draw the diagram as below to understand and solve the problem

And then equate the clockwise and anti-clock wise torque about the origin

We, get

Wb脳3m+Ww脳4m=Tsin30掳脳6m

Substitute the given value and solve for T

use weight as mg .. so multiply mass with g.

T=1450kg脳9.8m/s2脳3m+80kg脳9.8m/s2脳4m6m脳sin30掳T=15,255.3333NT=1.525脳104N

Your task in a science contest is to stack four identical uniform bricks, each of length L, so that the top brick is as far to the right as possible without the stack falling over. Is it possible, as Figure P12.61 shows, to stack the bricks such that no part of the top brick is over the table? Answer this question by determining the maximum possible value of d.

The four masses shown in FIGURE EX12.13 are connected by massless, rigid rods.

a. Find the coordinates of the center of mass.

b. Find the moment of inertia about an axis that passes through mass A and is perpendicular to the page.

The sphere of mass M and radius R in FIGURE P12.76 is rigidly attached to a thin rod of radius r that passes through the sphere at distance 12 R from the center. A string wrapped around the rod pulls with tension T. Find an expression for the sphere鈥檚 angular acceleration. The rod鈥檚 moment of inertia is negligible.
