A uniform beam has a length of 17.7 m and a mass of 39.6 kg. The beam is horizontal and resting (in equilibrium) on two supports. One of the supports is located 3.32 m to the right of the beam's center of mass. This support applies an upward force of 245 N to the beam. Ehat distance separates the two supports?

A father and his son are supposed to carry a load of 500 N. They decided to use a pole (of uniform mass distribution) 4.0 m long and weighing 60 N. They support the pole at the ends. Where should the load be placed so that the father supports three times as much weight as his son?

A 40.0kg uniform platform is suspended by two cables, 2.00m apart, where the centre of the platform lies midway between the cables. A 5.00kg paint bucket is placed on the platform, 24.0cm to the right of the right cable. Determine the tension in each cable.

A 520-N uniform rectangular sign 4.00 m wide and 3.00 m high is suspended from a horizontal, 6.00-m-long, uniform, 140-N rod as indicated in the figure below. 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. (Assume the cable is connected to the very end of the 6.00-m-long rod, and that there are 2.00 m separating the wall from the sign.) 30.0° T ICE CREAM SHOP (a) Find the tension T in the cable. (Give the magnitude of the tension.) N (b) Find the horizontal and vertical components of force exerted on the left end of the rod by the hinge. (Take up and to the right to be the positive directions. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) horizontal component N vertical component N
