A bridge of length 50.0 m and mass 8.00 104 kg is supported on a smooth pier at each end as shown in Figure P12.25. A truck of mass 3.00 104 kg is located 15.0 m from one end. What are the forces on the bridge at the points of support? Figure P12.25
Why is the following situation impossible? A uniform beam of mass mk = 3.00 kg and length = 1.00 m supports blocks with masses m1 = 5.00 kg and m2 = 15.0 kg at two positions as shown in Figure P12.2. The beam rests on two triangular blocks, with point P a distance d = 0.300 m to the right of the center of gravity of the beam. The position of the object of mass m2 is adjusted along the length of the beam until the normal force on the beam at O is zero. Figure P12.2
A purple beam is hinged to a wall to hold up a blue sign. The beam has a mass of mb = 6.2 kg and the sign has a mass of ms = 17.1 kg. The length of the beam is L = 2.51 m. The sign is attached at the very end of the beam, but the horizontal wire holding up the beam is attached 2/3 of the way to the end of the beam. The angle the wire makes with the beam is θ = 33.6°. 1) What is the tension in the wire? N 2) What is the net force the hinge exerts on the beam? N 3) The maximum tension the wire can have without breaking is T = 859 N. What is the maximum mass sign that can be hung from the beam? kg 4) What else could be done in order to be able to hold a heavier sign? while still keeping it horizontal, attach the wire to the end of the beam keeping the wire attached at the same location on the beam, make the wire perpendicular to the beam attach the sign on the beam closer to the wall shorten the length of the wire attaching the box to the beam. Solve all.
