A pole is attached at one end to a hinge on a wall and on the other end with a cable that goes from the end of the pole to the wall. The pole is uniform density and its mass is 12.3 kg. The pole makes an angle of 53° with the wall and the cable makes an angle of 32° with the wall. (a) Draw a force diagram for the forces on the pole. Clearly label the forces. (b) Using the forces on the pole, write out the equations for static equilibrium. (This should be in variables, do not solve.)
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
A pole is attached at one end to a hinge on a wall and on the other end with
a cable that goes from the end of the pole to the wall. The pole is uniform
density and its mass is 12.3 kg. The pole makes an angle of 53° with the wall
and the cable makes an angle of 32° with the wall.
(a) Draw a force diagram for the forces on the pole. Clearly label the forces.
(b) Using the forces on the pole, write out the equations for static equilibrium. (This should be in variables, do not solve.)
