A heavy ball suspended by a cable is pulled to the side by a horizontal force F as shown in Fig. 9-43. If angle 0 is small, the magnitude of the force F can be less than the weight of the ball because: (a) the force holds up only part of the ball's weight. (b) even though the ball is stationary, it is not really in equilibrium. (c) F is equal to only the x component of the tension in the cable. (d) the original statement is not true. To move the ball, F must be at least equal to the ball's weight. FIGURE 9–43 MisConceptual Question 4.

5) Consider a rigid steel beam of length L = 14.5 m and mass mb = 375 kg resting on two supports, one at each end. A worker of mass mw = 76 kg sits on the beam at a distance x from support A. Refer to the figure, though note that it is not drawn to scale. a) Enter an expression for the force support B must exert on the beam in order for it to remain at rest, in terms of defined quantities, x, and g. b) When the worker sits at a distance x = 7.5 m from support A, calculate the force, in newtons, that support B must exert on the beam in order for it to remain at rest. Use g with three significant figures. c) The force exerted on the beam by support A is measured and found to be FA = 2390 N. At what distance x, in meters, from support A is the worker sitting now?
