A beam with length of 2 m and a mass of 10 kg supports a 50 kg box. The beam is connected to a wall by a hinge at its base and a horizontal wire. The wire is connected to the beam 1.5 m from the hinge and makes an angle θ of 35o to the beam. The goal is to find the tension in the wire and the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge on the board. Suppose the maximum tension that the wire can withstand is 1500 N. What is the maximum load that the hinge can support before the wire breaks?
A painter wishes to know whether or not he can safely stand on a ladder. The ladder has a mass M1 = 10 kg which is uniformly distributed throughout its length L = 7.1 m. The ladder is propped up at an angle theta = 49o. The coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder is mus = 0.49, and the wall against which the ladder is resting is frictionless. Calculate the maximum mass of the painter for which the ladder will remain stable when he climbs a distance d = 5.5 m up the ladder. If the painter does not stand on the ladder, what is the minimum angle theta for which the ladder will remain stable?
