(II) A 110-kg horizontal beam is supported at each end. A 320-kg piano rests a quarter of the way from one end. What is the vertical force on each of the supports?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The vertical forces on each of the supports are \(2891\;{\rm{N}}\) and \(1323\;{\rm{N}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The mass of the beam is\(m = 110\;{\rm{kg}}\).

The mass of the piano is \(M = 320\;{\rm{kg}}\).

02

Understanding the torque exerted on the beam

In this question, the equilibrium conditions for the beam will be used to calculate the forces that the supports exert on the beam. Initially, calculate the torque about the left side of the beam.

03

Free body diagram and calculation of force acting on the right end of the beam

The following is the free body diagram.

The relation to calculate the net torque can be written as:

\(\begin{array}{c}\sum \tau = 0\\\left( {{F_{\rm{R}}} \times l} \right) - \left( {mg \times \frac{l}{2}} \right) - \left( {Mg \times \frac{l}{4}} \right) = 0\\{F_{\rm{R}}} = g\left( {\frac{m}{2} + \frac{M}{4}} \right)\end{array}\)

Here, \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration and \({F_{\rm{R}}}\) is the force on the right end of the beam.

On plugging the values in the above relation, you get:

\(\begin{array}{l}{F_{\rm{R}}} = \left( {9.8\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\left( {\frac{{110\;{\rm{kg}}}}{2} + \frac{{320\;{\rm{kg}}}}{4}} \right)\\{F_{\rm{R}}} = 1323\;{\rm{N}}\end{array}\)

04

Calculation of the force on the left end of the beam

The relation to calculate the force on the left end of the beam can be written as:

\(\begin{array}{c}\sum {F_{\rm{y}}} = 0\\{F_{\rm{L}}} + {F_{\rm{R}}} - mg - Mg = 0\end{array}\)

On plugging the values in the above relation, you get:

\(\begin{array}{c}{F_{\rm{L}}} + \left( {1323\;{\rm{N}}} \right) - \left( {110\;{\rm{kg}}} \right)\left( {9.8\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right) - \left( {320\;{\rm{kg}}} \right)\left( {9.8\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right) = 0\\{F_{\rm{L}}} = 2891\;{\rm{N}}\end{array}\)

Thus, the magnitudes of the forces on the left and right ends of the beam are \({F_{\rm{L}}} = 2891\;{\rm{N}}\) and \({F_{\rm{R}}} = 1323\;{\rm{N,}}\) respectively.

Calculate \({F_{\rm{A}}}\) and \({F_{\rm{B}}}\) for the beam shown in Fig. 9鈥56. The downward forces represent the weights of machinery on the beam. Assume that the beam is uniform and has a mass of 280 kg.

(II) (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force, required of the 鈥渄eltoid鈥 muscle to hold up the outstretched arm shown in Fig. 9鈥72. The total mass of the arm is 3.3 kg. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the shoulder joint on the upper arm and the angle (to the horizontal) at which it acts.

A steel rod of radius\(R = 15\;{\rm{cm}}\)and length\({l_0}\)stands upright on a firm surface. A 65-kg man climbs atop the rod. (a) Determine the percent decrease in the rod鈥檚 length. (b) When a metal is compressed, each atom moves closer to its neighboring atom by exactly the same fractional amount. If iron atoms in steel are normally\(2.0 \times {10^{ - 10}}\;{\rm{m}}\)apart, by what distance did this interatomic spacing have to change in order to produce the normal force required to support the man? [Note: Neighboring atoms repel each other, and this repulsion accounts for the observed normal force.

A 23.0-kg backpack is suspended midway between two trees by a light cord as in Fig. 9鈥51. A bear grabs the backpack and pulls vertically downward with a constant force, so that each section of cord makes an angle of 27掳 below the horizontal. Initially, without the bear pulling, the angle was 15掳; the tension in the cord with the bear pulling is double what it was when he was not. Calculate the force the bear is exerting on the backpack.
