A beam with a length of 2 m and a mass of 10 kg supports a 50 kg box. The beam is connected to a wall by a hinge at its base and a horizontal wire. The wire is connected to the beam 1.5 m from the hinge and makes an angle θ of 35o to the beam. The goal is to find the tension in the wire and the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge on the board

A tree contractor has been hired by a homeowner to remove a damaged tree from a previous storm. The top of the tree broke off, leaving the trunk in the ground. The arborist will remove the tree by attaching a rope near the top and cutting the base close to the ground. The scenario is shown in the figure. The distances in the figure are z = 12.0 m, h y = 4.83 m and x = 11.96 m. If the arborist pulls on the rope with a force of magnitude F = 35.1 N, write the expression for the torque 7 with respect to the base P of the tree using ijk unit vector notation, 7 = txi + Tyj + T₂k where Tx, Ty, and Tz are the values of the torque components in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively. = 1.45 m, k P X T h
