The figure above shows a massless beam, of length 4m, being held in place by a horizontal rope (labeled by the tension T2) attached at it’s end. Attached at the same location is another rope (labeled T1) which is supporting a 30kg mass. The beam is oriented at an angle of θ = 15◦, as shown. (a) Find the tensions, T1 and T2, in both ropes. (b) Find the force being applied at the pivot point P. You can express this as components (make sure to specify the coordinate system you are using!) or as a magnitude and direction.
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.
