If the cords holding up the chandelier in example 9-2 can support a maximum tension of 4,200 N, then what is the maximum that the chandelier’s mass can be? **Figure 9-4: Example 9-2**This figure illustrates a mechanical system involving a ceiling, a weight, and forces acting on a cable. (a) The diagram shows a chandelier with a weight of 200 kg suspended from the ceiling. The gravitational force acting on the chandelier is 1960 N, directed downward. Two forces keep the chandelier in balance: \(\vec{F}_A\) and \(\vec{F}_B\). Force \(\vec{F}_A\) is applied at an angle of 60° relative to the ceiling. Force \(\vec{F}_B\) is horizontal.The coordinate system is defined with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical.(b) The lower diagram details the components of force \(\vec{F}_A\). It is broken into horizontal (\(F_{Ax}\)) and vertical (\(F_{Ay}\)) components. The angle of 60° is clear between \(\vec{F}_A\) and the negative y-axis.These diagrams help analyze the vector components and balance of forces in static equilibrium situations.

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.

If the cords holding up the chandelier in example 9-2 can support a maximum tension of 4,200 N, then what is the maximum that the chandelier’s mass can be?

**Figure 9-4: Example 9-2**

This figure illustrates a mechanical system involving a ceiling, a weight, and forces acting on a cable.

(a) The diagram shows a chandelier with a weight of 200 kg suspended from the ceiling. The gravitational force acting on the chandelier is 1960 N, directed downward. Two forces keep the chandelier in balance: \(\vec{F}_A\) and \(\vec{F}_B\). Force \(\vec{F}_A\) is applied at an angle of 60° relative to the ceiling. Force \(\vec{F}_B\) is horizontal.

The coordinate system is defined with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical.

(b) The lower diagram details the components of force \(\vec{F}_A\). It is broken into horizontal (\(F_{Ax}\)) and vertical (\(F_{Ay}\)) components. The angle of 60° is clear between \(\vec{F}_A\) and the negative y-axis.

These diagrams help analyze the vector components and balance of forces in static equilibrium situations.

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.
