Question
Two Boy Scouts, Bobby and Jimmy, are carrying a uniform wooden tent pole 4.80 m in length and having mass m = 30.0 kg. Bobby is holding the pole 65.0 cm from the back, and Jimmy is holding the pole 37.0 cm from the front. If the pole is held horizontally by the two boys, what is the force Bobby and Jimmy each exert on the beam? (Enter the magnitude.)
Fbobby = ________ N
Fjimmy = ________ N

- A 15.7 m long board is supported from beneath at two locations. One is at the far left end of the board. The other is 1.2 m from the right end of the board. The board has a mass of 39.7 kg. What is the normal force (in newtons) applied by the right support?arrow_forwardA beam of length 11 m is supported as shown below. There is a pin in the bottom end of the beam and a mass hanging from the top end of the beam. If the mass of the beam is mb =264 kg, the hanging block has a mass of m1 =81.8 kg, theta = 50.1 degrees, and phi = 35.1 degrees, what is magnitude of the tension in the wire attaching the beam to the ground?arrow_forwardHow do you do this? A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see figure below). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of ? = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. a) When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension (in N) in the wire supporting the beam and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. b) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 875 N, what is the maximum distance (in m) the bear can walk before the wire breaks?arrow_forward
- As shown below, a beam of length L is in equilibrium and is attached to a cable which is pulling it against a frictionless wall. The beam is not attached to the wall and the wall is only exerting a normal force on the beam. Additionally, there is a 792 N box hanging on a wire from the end of the beam. Determine the cable tension & the beam weight. 0.86 L 45° 792 N tension= beam weight=arrow_forwardProblem: A 80 kg construction worker is sitting 2.0 m from the right end of a 1450 kg, 6.0 m long beam.
