A metal advertising sign (weight w) for a specialty shop is suspended from the end of a horizontal rod of length L and negligible mass (Fig. 11.11). The rod is supported by a cable at an angle θ from the horizontal and by a hinge at point P. Rank the following force magnitudes in order from greatest to smallest: (i) the weight w of the sign; (ii) the tension in the cable; (iii) the vertical component of force exerted on the rod by the hinge at P.

- One end of a uniform ℓ = 4.40-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of ? = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is ?s = 0.570. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A._______________________ marrow_forwardA lightweight diving board is supported by two pillars. One is at the end of the board and the other is 1.55 m away. A 75-kg person is standing on the board at such a location that the pillar at the end (pillar #1) of the board exerts a 860-N force downward. Determine the following. (a) distance the person is standing from the end pillar (pillar #1) (b) magnitude of the upward force exerted by the second pillar (pillar #2)arrow_forwardInthe figure, one end of a uniform beam of weight 440 N is hinged to a wall; the other end is supported by a wire that makes angles 8= 26° with both wall and beam.
