A 3.00-m-long. 190-N, uniform rod at the zoo is held in a horizontal position by two ropes at its ends (Fig. E11.19). The left rope makes an angle of 150° with the rod, and the right rope makes an angle 0 with the horizontal. A 90-N howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) hangs motionless 0.50 m from the right end of the rod as he carefully studies you. Calculate the tensions in the two ropes and the angle 0. First make a free-body diagram of the rod.

- Three forces are exerted on the disk shown in Figure P12.71,and their magnitudes are F3 = 2F2 = 2F1. The disks outer rimhas radius R, and the inner rim has radius R/2. As shown in thefigure, F1 and F3 are tangent to the outer rim of the disk, and F2 is tangent to the inner rim. F3 is parallel to the x axis, F2 is parallel to the y axis, and F1 makes a 45 angle with the negative x axis. Find expressions for the magnitude of each torque exertedaround the center of the disk in terms of R and F1. FIGURE P12.71 Problems 71-75arrow_forwardWhen a circus performer performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P12.37a. In this maneuver, the gymnasts feet (not shown) are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the pectoralis major (pecs). One of the rings exerts an upward force Fk on a hand as show n in Figure P12.37b. The force Fs, is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. (a) Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm for an athlete of weight 750 N. (b) Suppose a performer in training cannot perform the iron cross but can hold a position similar to the figure in which the arms make a 45 angle with the horizontal rather than being horizontal. Why is this position easier for the performer? Figure P12.37arrow_forwardFigure P12.38 shows a light truss formed from three struts lying in a plane and joined by three smooth hinge pins at their ends. The truss supports a downward force of F=1000N applied at the point B. The truss has negligible weight. The piers at A and C are smooth. (a) Given 1 = 30.0 and 2 = 45.0, find nA and nC. (b) One can show that the force any strut exerts on a pin must be directed along the length of the strut as a force of tension or compression. Use that fact to identify the directions of the forces that the struts exert on the pins joining them. Find the force of tension or of compression in each of the three bars.

- Why is the following situation impossible? A worker in a factory pulls a cabinet across the floor using a rope as shown in Figure P12.36a. The rope make an angle = 37.0 with the floor and is tied h1 = 10.0 cm from the bottom of the cabinet. The uniform rectangular cabinet has height = 100 cm and width w = 60.0 cm, and it weighs 400 N. The cabinet slides with constant speed when a force F = 300 N is applied through the rope. The worker tires of walking backward. He fastens the rope to a point on the cabinet h2 = 65.0 cm off the floor and lays the rope over his shoulder so that he can walk forward and pull as shown in Figure P12.36b. In this way, the rope again makes an angle of = 37.0 with the horizontal and again has a tension of 300 N. Using this technique, the worker is able to slide the cabinet over a long distance on the floor without tiring.
