Chapter 12, Problem 84GP
A uniform beam of mass M and length l is mounted on a hinge at a wall as shown in Fig. 12–91. It is held in a horizontal position by a wire making an angle θ as shown. A mass m is placed on the beam a distance x from the wall, and this distance can be varied. Determine, as a function of x, (a) the tension in the wire and (b) the components of the force exerted by the beam on the hinge.

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?
