The mass of crate D is held in position by two blocks, Band C, which are attached to the ring at A. The angle that rope AC makes in a counterclockwise direction from the positive x-axis is theta = 30 degree as shown. The mass of block B is equal to that of C, mB=mC=158 kg (i) Draw the free body diagram of the point of equilibrium (ii) Write down the static equilibrium equations (iii) Determine the angle phi and the weight of block D (iv) Why will point A be the midpoint between B and C? Explain (v) If all three weights are equal can equilibrium be maintained?
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.
