A uniform 8.00 m, 1500 kg beam is hinged to a wall and supported by a thin cable attached 2.00 m from the free end of the beam. The beam is fixed to the wall at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. The angle between the cable and the beam is 40 degrees. What are the unknowns? -direction of tension in the cable -direction of the hinge force -magnitude of rhe tension in the cable -magnitude of the hinge force
- 5. Two identical, uniform beams of length 3 m and weighing 260 N each are connected at one end by a frictionless hinge. A light horizontal crossbar, attached at the midpoints of the beams maintains an angle 50° between the beams. The beams are suspended from the ceiling by vertical wires so they form a V. See figure. (a) What force does the crossbar exert on each beam? (b) Is the crossbar under compression or tension, i.e. are the ends of the crossbar being pushed together or stretched farther apart? (c) What force (magnitude and direction) does the hinge exert on each beam? Crossbar Hinge
A diver stands on a diving board with a length of 4.5 m.  The diving board is supported by two pedestals which are 1.5 m apart.  If the diver's weight is 590, determine the force exerted on the left pedestal by the board.  Use positive = up for a sign convention and ignore the weight of the diving board.
