A worker of weight 758.6 kg stands on the end of a beam of weight 1651 N and length L= 109.2 m, supported on a pivot. The beam's center of mass is at its center. W is the weight of a counterweight needed to hold the beam in equilibrium. Determine the counterweight W (in N) if the distance between the counterweight and the fulcrum is x= 29.2 m.

At a museum, a 1300-kg model aircraft is hung from a lightweight beam of length 12.0 m that is free to pivot about its base and is supported by a massless cable (Fig. P14.38). Ignore the mass of the beam. a. What is the tension in the section of the cable between the beam and the wall? b. What are the horizontal and vertical forces that the pivot exerts on the beam? FIGURE P14.38 (a) From the free-body diagram, the angle that the string tension makes with the beam is = 55.0 + 18.0 = 73.0, and the perpendicular component of the string tension is FT sin73.0. Summing torques around the base of the rod gives (Eq. 14.2): =0:(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0+FT(12.0m)sin73.0=0FT=(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0(12.0m)sin73.0FT=7.65103N Figure P14.38ANS (b) Using force balance (Eq. 14.1): Fx=0:FHFTcos18.0=0FH=FTcos18.0=[(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0(12.0m)sin73.0]cos18.0=7.27103NFy=0:FVFTsin18.0(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)=0 FV=FTsin18.0+(1300kg)gFV=[(12.0m)(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)cos55.0(12.0m)sin73.0]sin18.0+(1300kg)(9.81m/s2)FV=1.51104N

8₁ 02 9. The diagram of the leg shows the femur (1) and tibia (2). The quadriceps muscle (3) applies a force to the lower leg via a tendon (4) that is embedded with the kneecap (5). If the force applied by the muscle to the tendon is F 570 N, what is the force of the femur on the kneecap, if the leg is in equilibrium? A simplified model of the leg is shown next to the diagram. The leg bones are represented by two beams attached by a pin. The tendon is modelled by a rope and the kneecap acts like a pulley. The tendon above the kneecap makes an angle 8, = 38° with respect to the vertical, and the portion of the tendon below the kneecap makes an angle of 6₂ = 10° with respect to the vertical. Enter the x component, followed by the y component. Answer 1 of 2: Answer 2 of 2: Submit All Answers
