A beam with a length of 2 m and a mass of 10 kg supports a 50 kg box. The beam is connected to a wall by a hinge at its base and a horizontal wire. The wire is connected to the beam 1.5 m from the hinge and makes an angle θ of 35o to the beam. The goal is to find the tension in the wire and the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge on the board
In the figure, one end of a uniform beam of weight 460 N is hinged to a wall; the other end is supported by a wire that makes angles θ = 35° with both wall and beam. Find (a) the tension in the wire and the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force of the hinge on the beam.
In the figure, a thin horizontal bar AB of negligible weight and length L is hinged to a vertical wall at A and supported at B by a thin wire BC that makes an angle 0 with the horizontal. A block of weight W can be
moved anywhere along the bar; its position is defined by the distance x from the wall to its center of mass. Find (a) the tension in the wire, and the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the
bar from the hinge at A. State your answers in terms of the given variables. (Note: the positive x direction is to the right, and the positive y direction is up)
