Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).

Question

**PHYS 161 – Physics I Lab**

**Static Equilibrium**

A uniform board of length \( L \) and weight \( W \) is suspended between two vertical walls by ropes of length \( L/2 \) each. When a weight \( w \) is placed on the left end of the board, it assumes the configuration shown in the figure below. Find the weight \( w \) in terms of the board weight \( W \).

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram depicts a board of length \( L \) suspended horizontally. At each end, the board is supported by ropes of length \( L/2 \). The left rope makes a 35° angle with the vertical wall, while the right rope makes a 60° angle with its vertical wall. A weight \( w \) is placed on the left end of the board, causing the board to incline at an angle of 9.2° below the horizontal line.
