The system shown is in equilibrium. A mass of 122 kg hangs from the end of a strut, which is connected by a hinge to the ground and makes an angle of θ = 50.0 degrees with the ground. The strut has a mass of 48.4 kg and is uniform. a) Find the tension in the cable holding up the strut, which makes an angle of ϕ = 30.0 degrees with the ground and attaches at a point 1/3 L from the top of the strut.
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.
