an object weighing 2.4 kilograms is suspended by two cables attached to its upper corners. the two cables make the same angle with the vertical. the tension in each cable is equal to 65% of the weight of the object. ignore the weight of the cables.
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
A 24 kg rectangular 4.00 m x 3.00 m rectangular sign is suspended from a horizontal 6.00 m long rod with a 5 kg mass as indicated in the figure. The left end of the rod is supported by a hinge, and the right end is supported by a thin cable making a 30.0° angle with the vertical. Draw a free body diagram and calculate the tension T in the cable. The thin cable breaks if it is pulled by more than 200 N. Show than in the present situation the cable can not support the sign without breaking. Show the cable is able to support the load if it is attached higher up such that it makes an angle of 20.0° angle S0.0 CE CREAM SHOP with the vertical.
A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weighs 160 N. The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.40. A man weighing 740 N climbs slowly up the ladder. (a) What is the maximum friction force, in Newtons, that the ground can exert on the ladder at its lower end? (b) What is the actual friction force, in Newtons, when the man has climbed 1.0 m along the ladder? (c) How far, in meters, along the ladder can the man climb before the ladder starts to slip?
A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 71.6° with the floor. The ladder has a mass 26.6 kg. A 69.16 kg man climbs 82% of the way to the top of the ladder when it slips and falls to the floor. What is the coefficient of static friction be- tween the ladder and the floor?
A uniform horizontal beam 10.0 m long and a mass of 82 kg is attached to support cables on either end. The cable on the left end makes an angle of 120 with x-axis and the cable on the right end makes an angle of 30̊ with the x-axis. If a person of mass 82 kg stands 7 m from the right end, find (a) the magnitude of the tensions TL and TR in the cables.
Some insects can walk below a thin rod (such as a twig) by hanging from it. Suppose that such an insect has mass m and hangs from a horizontal rod with angle u = 40. Its six legs are all under the same tension, and the leg sections nearest the body are horizontal. (a) What is the ratio of the tension in each tibia (forepart of a leg) to the insect’s weight? (b) If the insect straightens out its legs somewhat, does the tension in each tibia increase, decrease, or stay the same?
