In the What If? section of Example 12.2, let d represent the distance in meters between the person and the hinge at the left end of the beam. (a) Show that the cable tension is given by T = 93.9d + 125, with T in newtons. (b) Show that the direction angle of the hinge force is described by tan=(323d+41)tan53.0 (c) Show that the magnitude of the hinge force is given by R=8.82103d29.65104d+4.96105 (d) Describe how the changes in T, , and R as d increases differ from one another.
In Figure 9.21, the cg of the pole held by the pole vaulter is 2.00 m from the left hand, and the hands are 0.700 m apart. Calculate the force exerted by (a) his right hand and (b) his left hand. (c) If each hand supports half the weight of the pole in Figure 9.19, show that the second condition for equilibrium (net =0 ) is satisfied for a pivot other than the one located at the center of gravity of the pole. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium described above. Figure 9.21 A pole vaulter is holding a pole horizontally with both hands. The center of gravity is to the left side of the vaulter.
A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.
(a) What minimum coefficient of friction is needed between the legs and the ground to keep the sign in Figure 9.35 in the position shown if the chain breaks? (b) What force is exerted by each side on the hinge?
A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P12.40, with AC = BC = = 4.00 m. A painter of mass m = 70.0 kg stands on the ladder d = 3.00 m from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately. Figure P12.40 Problems 40 and 41.
Problems 33 and 34 are paired. One end of a uniform beam that weighs 2.80 102 N is attached to a wall with a hinge pin. The other end is supported by a cable making the angles shown in Figure P14.33. Find the tension in the cable. FIGURE P14.33 Problems 33 and 34.
Suppose the weight of the drawbridge in Figure 9.34 is supported entirely by its hinges and the opposite shore, so that its cables are slack. (a) What fraction of the weight is supported by the opposite shore if the point of support is directly beneath the cable attachments? (b) What is the direction and magnitude of the force the hinges exert on the bridge under these circumstances? The mass of the bridge is 2500 kg.
In Example 14.3, we found that one of the steel cables supporting an airplane at the Udvar-Hazy Center was under a tension of 9.30 103 N. Assume the cable has a diameter of 2.30 era and an initial length of 8.00 m before the plane is suspended on the cable. How much longer is the cable when the plane is suspended on it?
What Is Static Equilibrium? Problems 13 are grouped. 1. C A ball is attached to a strong, lightweight rod (Fig. P14.1). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin near the top. The ball is at rest. Is the ball in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the ball slightly? FIGURE P14.1
6. A slightly simplified view of the arm has the hinge at the elbow, the bicep attaching to the bone 2.50cm from the ‘hinge’ and a mass supported in the hand 32.0 cm from the ‘hinge’.If the mass of the forearm is 2.60 kg and its center of mass is 12.0 cm from the‘hinge’, how many Newtons of force from the bicep would be required to hold upa weight of 98.0 N?
In the figure, a 10.0-m long bar is attached by a frictionless hinge to a wall and held horizont by a rope that makes an angle 0 of 53° with the bar. The bar is uniform and weighs 39.9 N.

goodeats.png The uniform horizontal beam supporting the sign is 1.39 m long, has a mass of 12.51 kg, and is hinged to the wall The sign itself is uniform with a mass of 27.08 kg and overall length of 1.35 m. The two wires supporting the sign are each 33.92 cm long, are 34.34 cm apart, and are equally spaced from the middle of the sign. The cable supporting the beam is 3.34 m long. What minimum vertical force must the hinge be able to support without pulling out of the wall? Note: Write your answers with 3 digits after the decimal point.
