Scenario depicts rigid object in static equilibrium. Pivot point is provided. Assume that the pivot point does not provide any forces and some forces may be negative.
Need help understanding how to find unknown forces Fa, Fb, and Fc.

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a system of forces acting on a rectangular object. There are vectors labeled with forces and distances. The forces are acting along and perpendicular to the sides of the rectangle as follows:
1. **Vectors & Forces:**
- A force of 3N (Newtons) is acting vertically downward from the top center of the rectangle at a distance labeled \( L \) from the center.
- Another force of 3N is acting horizontally to the left from the left center of the rectangle at a distance \( L \).
- Two horizontal and vertical forces are labeled as \( F_A \) and \( F_B \) acting on the right side of the rectangle, at a distance of \( 3L \) from the center.
- A force labeled \( F_C \) is acting vertically upwards from the bottom center of the rectangle at a distance of \( \frac{4}{2} \times L \) (equal to \( 2L \)) from the center.
2. **Boxes for Calculations:**
- There are three empty fields labeled \( F_A = \), \( F_B = \), and \( F_C = \) for calculations related to the forces acting on the system.
This arrangement is likely part of a physics problem involving equilibrium or torque, where you'll calculate the unknown forces \( F_A \), \( F_B \), and \( F_C \) to satisfy the conditions of equilibrium.

Google Jamboard >> Go A beam resting on two pivots has a length of L = 6.00 m and mass M = 84.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force on the beam, and the second pivot placed a distance l = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n,. A woman of mass m = 63.0 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in the figure below. The goal is to find the woman's position when the beam begins to tip. (a) Sketch a free-body diagram, labeling the gravitational and normal forces acting on the beam and placing the woman x meters to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.) (b) Where is the woman when the normal force n, is the greatest? 1 typica This answer has not been graded yet. y and inte ject and X W 81°F Mostly cloudyarrow_forward2.
