- 3. A uniform beam of mass 20 kg is suspended horizontally by a wall at one end and a cable that makes an angle of 0= 30° with the beam at the other end. The cable can sustain a maximum tension of 300 N before it breaks. a) What is the farthest distance from the wall (x) that a 10 kg mass can be suspended without the upper cable breaking? b) When x has this value what is the force exerted by the wall onto the beam? Wall 10 kg 10 marrow_forwardL GAS A 48.0 kg sign hangs at the end of a bar where L = 3.10 meters in length. A cable attaches to the end of the horizontal bar and to a wall 2.60 meters above where the bar is attached to the wall. The bar has a mass of 12-kg. What is the tension in the cable? Give your answer in Newtons to 3 significant figures (no decimal places in this case).arrow_forwardIn the figure, a uniform beam of weight 440 N and length 2.3 m is suspended horizontally. On the left it is hinged to a wall; on the right it is supported by a cable bolted to the wall at distance D above the beam. The least tension that will snap the cable is 1100 N. What value of D corresponds to that tension? Cable Вeam Number i Unitsarrow_forward
- 1 A person exercises the quadriceps as shown. The diagram on the right shows a model of the leg, where the person's lower leg of length L = 0.60 m is held at an angle 0₁ = 60° with respect to the horizontal. The quadriceps muscle exerts a force FM via the tendon that attaches to the tibia at a distance d = 0.10 m from the knee, in order to lift a weight of mass m₁ = 5.91 kg that is attached to the foot. The tendon makes an angle of 0₂ = 11.5° with respect to the tibia. 2 What is the force required to hold the weight at the position shown in the diagram? Assume the person's lower leg weighs 150 N and its centre of mass is located at a distance L/2 from the knee. Round your answer to the nearest Newton. FM M d- 02 01 m₁arrow_forwarda. A 1200-N uniform boom of length 2.00 m is supported by a cable, as shown in the figure. The boom is pivoted at the bottom, and a 2000-N weight hands from its top. Find the tension in the cable and the components of the reaction force exerted on the boom by the floor. For the next two parts you can assume that the 2000-N weight is concentrated at the top end of the boom. b. Determine the total moment of inertia of the boom/weight system around the pivot point. c. The cable now breaks, and the boom pivots until the right end hits the floor. Determine the velocity of the right end at the instant before it hits the floor.arrow_forwardA force stretches a wire by 4.0 mm.
