Chapter 16, Problem 1RQ
Create an algorithm to determine the weight of a rod in units of pounds-force on the surface of Callisto. Jupiter’s moon. You may assume that the user of the algorithm will provide the volume of the rod in units of cubic meters. Your algorithm may assume that the specific gravity is 4. 7 and the gravitational acceleration on Callisto is 1.25 meters per second squared. As a test case, you can assume the user has a rod with a volume of 0.3 cubic meters.

The beam ABC has a mass of 79.0 kg and is supported by
the rope BDC that runs through the frictionless pulley at D
. The winch at C has a mass of 36.5 kg. The tension in the
rope acts on the beam at points B and C and counteracts
the moments due to the beam's weight (acting vertically at
the midpoint of its length) and the weight of the winch
(acting vertically at point C) such that the resultant moment
about point A is equal to zero. Assume that rope segment
CD is vertical and note that rope segment BD is NOT
necessarily perpendicular to the beam.
a.) Compute the tension in the rope.
b.) Model the two forces the rope exerts on the beam as a
single equivalent force and couple moment acting at point B.
Enter your answer in Cartesian components.
c.) Model the two forces the rope exerts on the beam as a
single equivalent force (no couple) and determine the
distance from A to the point along the beam where the
equivalent force acts (measured parallel to the beam from A
