Concept explainers

Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

A cargo ship is loading using a boom crane, which is a 15 m long pole with a cable for lifting cargo which is suspended from the end of the pole. The boom is raised via a cable attached at a point that is 2/3 of the distance to the end of the pole. At one point the crane is lifting an 900 kg crate with the pole making a 30 degree angle with the horizontal, while the cable makes a 40 degree angle with the horizontal. Estimate the tension on the cable.
