Question
A 495 kg uniform beam is suspended by a vertically hanging rope at each end. The beam is tipped at an angle of 25.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. A 105 kg construction worker stands at the very left end of the beam, as shown in the diagram below
A)) Let the system be the worker and the beam. On the diagram, label all of the external forces acting on the system, using arrows.
(b) Find the tension in the rope on the right side of the beam. Give your answer in Newtons. Assume the system is in static equilibrium
c) Find the tension in the rope on the left side of the beam. Give your answer in Newtons. Assume the system is in static equilibrium.

What force FB must be exerted by the biceps muscle? An arm is extending horizontally to the left with a cutout that shows muscles in the upper arm. A carton of milk is in the hand, and an arrow labeled vector Fg points directly downward. A point on the person's forearm lies a horizontal distance of 25.0 cm to the right of the milk and a horizontal distance of 8.00 cm to the left of the elbow. An arrow labeled vector FB points from this point up and to the right at an angle of 75.0° from the vertical.arrow_forward
