It's exciting watching the construction and renovation happening in Uptown
Columbus! On one construction site, you notice that a uniform beam of length 13.6
m and mass 47.9 kg is attached to a wall by a cable. The angle between the cable
and the beam is 59.5°. The beam is free to pivot about the point where it attaches to
the wall. What is the tension in the cable, if the beam is not moving?
Your Answer:
Answer
A 800 N man is standing on a 4 m long plank of wood that is supported at each end by vertical ropes. The plank has a weight of 500 N and the man is standing 1 m from the left end. Find the force of tension in the rope at the left end of the plank.
A 12-kg, 1.0-m-long uniform beam is attached to a wall by a cable. The beam is free to pivot at the point where it attaches to the wall. However, it remains motionless.
What is the magnitude of the tension force in the cable?

- Ruby, with mass 55.0 kg, is trying to reach a box on a high shelf by standing on her tiptoes. In this position, half her weight is supported by the normal force exerted by the floor on the toes of each foot as shown in Figure P14.75A. This situation can be modeled mechanically by representing the force on Rubys Achilles tendon with FA and the force on her tibia as FT as shown in Figure P14.75B. What is the value of the angle and the magnitudes of the forces FA and FT? FIGURE P14.75arrow_forwardAt a museum, a 1300-kg model aircraft is hung from a lightweight beam of length 12.0 m that is free to pivot about its base and is supported by a massless cable (Fig. P14.38).
