A uniform 40.0-kg scaffold of length 6.0 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. An 80.0-kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.5 m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables and the mass of the equipment.

A 30 kg mass is supported at the end of a horizontal beam of negligible mass that is hinged to a pole as shown. A cable at an angle of 42 with the beam helps support the weight. Find the tension in each cable, T1 and T2.
A 24 kg rectangular 4.00 m x 3.00 m rectangular sign is suspended from a horizontal 6.00 m long rod with a 5 kg mass as indicated in the figure. The left end of the rod is supported by a hinge, and the right end is supported by a thin cable making a 30.0° angle with the vertical. Draw a free body diagram and calculate the tension T in the cable. The thin cable breaks if it is pulled by more than 200 N. Show than in the present situation the cable can not support the sign without breaking. Show the cable is able to support the load if it is attached higher up such that it makes an angle of 20.0° angle S0.0 CE CREAM SHOP with the vertical.
