- Q2/What is the purpose of having the negative sign in? Hooke's Lawarrow_forwardA bridge, constructed of 11 beams of equal length LLL and negligible mass, supports an object of mass MMM as shown. (Figure 1)Real bridges of this sort have steel rockers at the ends (check one out sometime), these assure that the support forces on the bridge are vertical even when it expands or contracts thermally. Throughout this problem, use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. A. Assuming that the bridge segments are free to pivot at each intersection point, what is the tension T in the horizontal segment directly above the point where the object is attached? (Figure 2)If you find that the horizontal segment directly above the point where the object is attached is being stretched, indicate this with a positive value for T.
