How far is the person sitting from the left cable if 7m long beam of negligible mass is hanged horizontally and is supporyed at each end by vertical cables? A person of unknown weight is sitting on it somewhere between the cables. The tension in the left cable is 300N, and in the right cable is 400N.

A 7-m long beam of negligible mass is hanged horizontally and is supported at each end by vertical cables. The tension in the left cable is 300 N, and that in the right cable is 400 N. How far is the person sitting from the left cable?
The man is holding upthe 35-kg ladder ABC by pushing perpendicular to the ladder. The total length of the ladder is AC= 6m. If the maximum force that the man can exert is 400Nat B which is 2m from A, determine the smallest angle, theta, at which the man can support the ladder.
During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze holding another, also upsidedown, performer by the legs. If the upward force on the lower performer is three times her weight, how much do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch? You may assume each is equivalent to a uniform rod 35.0 cm long and 1.80 cm in radius. Her mass is 60.0 kg.

A 3 m long light (massless) board is supported at each end by cables. A painter weighing 900N stands 1m from the left cable. Calculate the tension in each cable.
A ladder 4m long is leaning against a frictionless wall with its lower end 1.6m away from the wall. If the ladder weighs 150N, what forces does it exert on the wall F1 and on the ground F2?
the mast of a sailboat is supported at the bow and stern by stainless steel wires, the forstay and backstay, anchored 10m apart. The 12m long mast weighs 800N and stands vertically on the deck of the boat. The mast is positioned 3.6m behind where the forstay is attached. The tension in the forstay is 500N. Find the tension in the backstay and the force that the mast exerts on the deck.
A window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by avertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 200 N and is3.00 m long. What is the tension in each rope when the 700-Nworker stands 1.00 m from one end?
Some insects can walk below a thin rod (such as a twig) by hanging from it. Suppose that such an insect has mass m and hangs from a horizontal rod with angle u = 40. Its six legs are all under the same tension, and the leg sections nearest the body are horizontal. (a) What is the ratio of the tension in each tibia (forepart of a leg) to the insect’s weight? (b) If the insect straightens out its legs somewhat, does the tension in each tibia increase, decrease, or stay the same?
A sculptor has hung up a 45.0 kg horizontal rod of length 4.85 m . One end of the rod is supported by a pivot, and the other end is held up by a wire. The wire makse a 30.0 ∘ angle with the rod. If tension greater than 1450 N would snap the wire, what is the maximum distance from the pivot that a 68.0 kg person can sit on the rod? r=________m
A scaffold of mass 71 kg and length 4.8 mis supported in a horizontal position by a vertical cable at each end. A window washer of mass 64 Kg stands at a point 2.4 m from one end. What is the tension in (a) the nearer (relative to the person) cable and (b) the farther (relative to the person) cable? (a) Number Units
A uniform 37.0 kg scaffold of length 6.2 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. An 82.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.6 mfrom the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables (in N) and the mass of the equipment (in kg). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations).
