A fisherman has caught a fish on his pole, and to keep the pole steady he has to apply an upward force of F2 = 240 N at an angle of 83.5° with respect to the pole (see figure). The length of his pole is 4.1 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.35 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1. With how much force, F1, in newtons, does he have to push straight downward on the end of his pole to keep the pole from moving? You may assume the pole is massless. F1 = What is the mass of the fish on the end of the pole, in kilograms?
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.
