A 3-meter-long 25 kg beam is supported by two cables as shown below. You can treat the beam as a slender rod. Assume we want the left end of the beam at A to remain as a constant height while the right end of the beam at B to accelerate upwards at a rate of 1 m/s². a) What is the rate of acceleration of the center of the beam and the rate of angular acceleration for the beam? b) What will T₁ and T₂ need to be to achieve these accelerations?

Question
A 3-meter-long 25 kg beam is supported by two cables as shown below. You can treat the beam as a
slender rod. Assume we want the left end of the beam at A to remain as a constant height while the
right end of the beam at B to accelerate upwards at a rate of 1 m/s².
a) What is the rate of acceleration of the center of the beam and the rate of angular acceleration
for the beam?
b) What will T₁ and T₂ need to be to achieve these accelerations?
A
T₁
.5 m
1.5 m
C
T₂
(Solution: acy = 5 m/s², a = 333 rad/s², T₁ = 81.75 N, T₂ = 176 N)
