When you arrive at Duke’s Dude Ranch you are greeted by the large wooden sign shown in Figure 11-60. The left end of the sign is held in place by a bolt, the right end is tied to a rope that makes an angle of 20 0° with the horizontal. If the sign is uniform, 3 20 m long, and has a mass of 16 0 kg, what are (a) the tension in the rope, and (b) the horizontal and vertical components of the force,

- A meter stick with a mass of 0.23 kg is held perpendicular to a vertical wall by a cord of length d = 5.3 m attached to the end of the meter stick and also to the wall above the other end of the meter stick. (a) Determine the tension in the cord. N (b) Will the tension in the cord will be greater than, less than, or the same as that found in part (a) if the string is shortened? O greater than O less than O the same asarrow_forwardSolve Equation (1) for R (in N) and substitute numerical values: R = Finalize The positive value for the angle 0 indicates that our estimate of the direction of R was accurate. Had we selected some other axis for the torque equation, the solution might differ in the details ---Select-- . For example, had we chosen an axis through the center of gravity of the beam, the torque equation would involve both T and R. This equation, coupled with Equations (1) and (2), however, could still be solved for the unknowns. Try it! EXERCISE A person with weight 900 N stands d = 4.00 m away from the wall on a f = 6.00 m beam, as shown in this figure. The weight of the beam is 2,000 N. Define upward as the positive y-direction and to the right as the positive x-direction. 30° d Hint (a) Find the tension (in N) in the wire. (b) Find the horizontal component of the hinge force (in N). (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (c) Find the vertical component in (N). (Indicate the direction…arrow_forwardThe two structural members, one of which is in tension and the other in compression, exert the indicated forces on joint O. Determine the magnitude of the resultant R of the two forces and the angle which R makes with the positive x-axis.

- Please help mearrow_forwardOne end of a uniform 3.40-m-long rod of weight F, is supported by a cable at an angle of 637° with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is ,-0.565. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.arrow_forwardA uniform board is suspended from a ceiling and supported horizontally by two wires, A and B. The board is 2.0 m long and has a mass of 25 kg. What is the tension in each of the two wires when a sign of 35 kg is hung on the board a distance of 0.50 m from one end?arrow_forward

- The ladder and the person weigh 30N and 180N, respectively. The center of mass of the 12-m ladder is at its midpoint. The angle α=30°. Assume that the wall exerts a negligible friction force on the ladder. (a) If x=4m, what is the magnitude of the friction force exerted on the ladder by the floor? (b) What minimum coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor is necessary for the person to be able to climb to the top of the ladder without slipping?arrow_forwardOne end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle ? with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is 0.400. When theta = 15.0o , how large must the coefficient of static friction be so that the block can be attached 0.100 [m] from the left end of the stick without causing it to slip?arrow_forwardPlease Asaparrow_forward
