You open a restaurant and hope to entice customers by hanging out a sign. The uniform horizontal beam supporting the sign is 1.50 m long, has a mass of 16.0 kg, and is hinged to the wall. The sign itself is uniform with a mass of 28.0 kg and overall length of 1.20 m. The two wires supporting the sign are each 32.0 cm long, are 90.0 cm apart, and are equally spaced from the middle of the sign. The cable supporting the beam is 2.00 m long.

  1. What minimum tension must your cable be able to support without having a sign come crashing down?
  2. What minimum vertical force must the hinge be able to support without pulling out of the wall?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The minimum tension the cable can support is 408.6 N
  2. Vertical force of 161 N must be supplied.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Given that the uniform horizontal beam supporting the sign is 1.50 m long, has a mass of 16.0 kg, and is hinged to the wall. The sign itself is uniform with a mass of 28.0 kg and overall length of 1.20 m. The two wires supporting the sign are each 32.0 cm long, are 90.0 cm apart, and are equally spaced from the middle of the sign. The cable supporting the beam is 2.00 m long.

Mass of beam m1=16kg

Mass of sign,m2=28kg

Since the wires are symmetrically placed on either side, therefore, their tensions are equal. So Tension isTw=m1g2=137N

Formula used

Torque=Fl

Where Fis force exerted and l is distance.

(a)Step 3: Find minimum tension in the cable

Since the cable is 2 m long and the beam is 1.5 m long,

cos=1.5m2m=41.4

Let tension in the cable is Tc.

Applying the condition for equilibrium,

=0gives

Tcsin41.41.50m-wbeam0.75m-TW1.50m-Tw0.6m=0Tc=1.6m9.8m/s20.75m+137N1.5m+0.6m1.5msin41.4=408.6N

The minimum tension is 408.6 N.

(b)Step 4: Find minimum vertical force

Let horizontal component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber鈥檚 feet is FH and vertical component is FV .

Applying equilibrium condition

Net horizontal and vertical force is zero.

Fy=0

Fy=0implies Fv+Tcsin41.4-wbeam-2Tw=0

Fv=2Tw+wbeam-Tcsin41.4=2137N+16kg9.8m/s2-408.6Nsin41.4=161N

Hence, vertical component is 161 N.

A typical adult human has a mass of about 70Kg. (a) What force does a full moon exert on such a human when directly overhead with its centre378000km away? (b) Compare this force with the pressure exerted on the human by the earth.

You normally drive on the freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h (65 mi/h), and the trip takes 1 h and 50 min. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h (43 mi/h). How much longer does the trip take?

Starting from a pillar, you run 200 m east (the +x-direction) at an average speed of 5.0 m/s and then run 280 m west at an average speed of 4.0 m/s to a post. Calculate (a) your average speed from pillar to post and (b) youraverage velocity from pillar to post.

A useful and easy-to-remember approximate value for the number of seconds in a year is饾洃脳107. Determine the percent error in this approximate value. (There are 365.24 days in one year.)

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet鈥檚 surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, =M/V, and the planet鈥檚 diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn鈥檚 surface?
