The beam has a weight of 340 N. Three additional forces keep the beam in equilibrium. The brace applies a force P, and the hinge applies a force with a horizontal component H and a vertical component V. (a) Draw the free- body diagram showing the forces that act on the beam. Find the magnitudes of the forces (b) P, (c) H, and (d) V.

- In a city park a nonuniform wooden beam 4.00 m long is suspended horizontally by a light steel cable at each end. The cable at the left-hand end makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical and has tension 620 N. The cable at the right-hand end of the beam makes an angle of 50.0° with the vertical. As an employee of the Parks and Recreation Department, you are asked to find the weight of the beam and the location of its center of gravity.arrow_forwardA uniform beam of length 20 m and mass 100 kg is supported by pylons on either end.

Each end is held up by a vertical rope. A 45 kg box sits 1 m from the left end. Find the tension in the rope on the right. Hint: With forces applied at different places, this is a beam problem pick a pivot point measure all distances from the pivot point Apply Στ = 0 Don't forget torque = force x dist, so you need to multiply the masses by g = 9.8 m/s2 If you need more information, apply ΣF = 0arrow_forward
