Concept explainers

Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

Add the appropriate units.
A 3.0 m long rigid beam with a mass 120 kg is supported at each end. An 70 kg student stands 2.0 m from support 1. How much upward force does support 1 exert on the beam? (Figure 1) How much upward force does support 2 exert on the beam?
A uniform 50-kg scaffold of length 7.0 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. A 61-kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his paint bucket is 1.5 m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables and the mass of the bucket. m bucket = kg T (left) = N T (right) = N

Note: Express your answer in whole numbers.
A beam rests on a fulcrum, 2.3 meters from one end. A weight of 444 kg is suspended from this end causing the beam to balance. If the weight of 444 is suspended on the opposite end of the beam, it is necessary to suspend a 2733 kg weight on the first end in order to effect an even balance. Use g = 9.81 m/s2. Find the length of the beam.
