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?

- Sir Lost-a-Lot dons his armor and sets out from the castle on his trusty steed (see figure below). Usually, the drawbridge is lowered to a horizontal position so that the end of the bridge rests on the stone ledge. Unfortunately, Lost-a-Lot's squire didn't lower the drawbridge far enough and stopped it at e = 20.0° above the horizontal. The knight and his horse stop when their combined center of mass is d = 1.25 m from the end of the bridge. The uniform bridge is { = 7.25 m long and has mass 2 500 kg. The lift cable is attached to the bridge 5.00 m from the hinge at the castle end and to a point on the castle wall h = 12.0 m above the bridge. Lost-a-Lot's mass combined with his armor and steed is 1 070 kg. While Lost-a-Lot ponders his next move, the enemy attacks!
