A rigid bar of mass M is supported symmetrically by three wires each of length l. Those at each end are ofcopper and the middle one is of iron. The ratio of their diameter, if each is to have the same tension, is equal to (a)YcopperYiron(b) √YironY copper(c)Yiron2Ycopper2(d)YironYcopper
A uniform straight bar 2.00 m long and weighing 450 N is supported by two cables at its ends to the roof of a house. Cable 1 on the left end can withstand a maximum tension of 600 N without breaking, while Cable 2 on the right end can withstand a maximum tension of 500 N.You want to put additional weight on that bar. Calculate: (a) What is the maximum weight you can place on the bar without breaking any of the cables?  (b) Where should you place this weight on the bar?
One end of a uniform { = 4.30-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of 0 = 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 µ. = 0.490. 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. B Need Help?
