Do Chapter 12, Problem 6, with these numbers which I've decided to express in pounds and feet, English units. Sam and Joe carry a beam, walking to the right. Calculate the force that Sam exerts, in pounds.
The beam's weight is 109 lb.
The beam's length is 21 ft.
Sam is 1 ft from the back.
Joe is 2 ft from the front.
An object of mass 2.8 kg is suspended from a ceiling by two cords that each make an angle of magnitude 38.59 degrees with the ceiling. If the magnitudes of the
tensions In the two cords are the same.
what is the magnitude of the tension force in just one of the cords (in N)?
(My answer was 21.996 rounded to 22. I did T=(2.8)(9.8)/2Sin(38.59))
solve the a and b given in the image.

(a) Compute the force on the hinge FH(x) as a function of the archaeologist's location x. Compute both the horizontal and vertical components of the force. Your result should be two functions of the unknown variable x. Express your result only in terms of the parameters L, h, W, and w. (b) Suppose the rope has been reinforced so that it can support up to 1000 lbs without breaking. If the hinge can withstand a maximum force of 500 lbs without breaking, is it safe for the archaeologist to cross? Don't guess. Justify your response with a calculation. If it is safe to cross, what is the margin of safety? I.e., how much less is the maximum force on the hinge than the upper limit of 500 lbs? If it is not safe to cross, how far can the archaeologist walk before the hinge gives out?arrow_forward
- There are two not orthogonal forces (F and F), if the resultant of these forces is also equal to (1.2F). find the angle between these two not orthogonal forces .arrow_forwardA box of mass 7.54 kg is being pushed along a frictionless floor by a force of magnitude 14.86 N acting down and to the right at an angle of 68.54 degrees. What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the box (in N)? Use g = 9.81 m/s^2 (My answer to the question was 102.16 N, multiplication with cosine could’ve been wrong.arrow_forward(a) The fishing pole in the figure below makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. What is the torgue exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the angler's hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F = 104 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point L = 1.90 m from the angler's hands. (Enter the magnitude in N · m, accurate to at least the nearest integer.)arrow_forwardHow did it resulted to 0.346?

The distance along the tibia from the knee joint center to the tendon insertion is 3.5 cm. What is the magnitude of the force component that is parallel to the tibia?arrow_forwardA patient in therapy has a forearm that weighs -20.5 N and that lifts a -112 N weight. These two forces have direction vertically downward. The only other significant forces on his forearm come from the biceps muscle and the force at the elbow. If the biceps produces a pull of 232 N when the forearm is raised above 43 degrees the horizontal, find the magnitude and direction of the force that the elbow exerts on the forearm. (Take note that the sum of elbow force and biceps force must balance the weight of the arm and the weight it is carrying, so their vector sum must be 132.5 N upward).arrow_forwardA student's car stalls right in front of a speed bump while she is on her way to physics class. To pull it over the bump, she ties a cable to her bumper and to a nearby tree, and pulls with a force, F, of 81.0 lbs (360 N) at the midpoint in a perpendicular direction.If θ is 11.0°, what is the size of the force pulling the car in lbsarrow_forwardFind the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the three force vectors, AB and C shown in the figure. These vectors have the following magnitudes: A = 5.0 lb, B = 7.9 lb, and C= 8.0 lb. Express the direction of the resultant by specifying the angle it makes with the +x-axis, with counterclockwise angles taken to be positive. 120⁰ F 1.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
