Question
A truck bed cargo shell has a rectangular glass window that is held up by two strut
pistons. Assume the glass window is 0.483 m long and has a mass of 11.3 kg. Each piston is
connected to the window 0.153 m from the glass' pivot point and makes an angle of 0, 22.5°
with the glass. A mass-free rope is attached at the end of the glass making an angle of 62 =
43.5°. A box with mass, m, hangs from the end of the rope. Each of the pistons can exert a
force of 228 N when fully extended.
a) Find the maximum mass the box can be before the glass window begins to close.
b) Find the tension in the rope.
