A uniform beam is hinged at one end and held in a hori- zontal position by a cable, as shown in Fig. 9–42. The tension in the cable (a) must be at least half the weight of the beam, no matter what the angle of the cable. (b) could be less than half the beam's weight for some angles. (c) will be half the beam's weight for all angles. (d) will equal the beam's weight for all angles. FIGURE 9–42 MisConceptual Question 3: beam and cable.

A uniform 8.00 m, 1500 kg beam is hinged to a wall and supported by a thin cable attached 2.00 m from the free end of the beam. The beam is fixed to the wall at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. The angle between the cable and the beam is 40 degrees. What are the unknowns? -direction of tension in the cable -direction of the hinge force -magnitude of rhe tension in the cable -magnitude of the hinge force
A 2.0-m-high box with a 1.0-m-square base is moved across a rough floor as in Fig. 9–89. The uniform box weighs 250N and has a coefficient of static friction with the floor of 0.60. What minimum force must be 1.0 m exerted on the box to make it slide? What is the maximum height h above the floor that this force can be applied without tip- ping the box over? Note that as the box tips, the normal force CG 2.0 m FN and the friction force will act at the lowest corner. Fir FIGURE 9-89 Problem 74.
