- Two identical balls are attached to a strong,lightweight rod (Fig. P14.3). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin at the systems center of mass. The balls are at rest. Is thesystem in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the balls slightly?

Its upper end is connected to a wall by a rope, and its lower end rests on a rough, horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the beam and surface is s. Assume the angle is such that the static friction force is at its maximum value. (a) Draw a force diagram for the beam. (b) Using the condition of rotational equilibrium, find an expression for the tension T in the rope in terms of m, g, and . (c) Using the condition of translational equilibrium, find a second expression for T in terms of s, m, and g.

- A 20.0-kg floodlight in a park is supported at the end of a horizontal beam of negligible mass that is hinged to a pole as shown in Figure P12.10. A cable at an angle of = 30.0 with the beam helps support the light. (a) Draw a force diagram for the beam. By computing torques about an axis at the hinge at the left-hand end of the beam, find (b) the tension in the cable, (c) the horizontal component of the force exerted by the pole on the beam, and (d) the vertical component of this force. Now solve the same problem from the force diagram from part (a) by computing torques around the junction between the cable and the beam at the right-hand end of the beam. Find (e) the vertical component of the force exerted by the pole on the beam, (f) the tension in the cable, and (g) the horizontal component of the force exerted by the pole on the beam. (h) Compare the solution to parts (b) through (d) with the solution to parts (c) through (g). Is either solution more accurate? Figure P12.10arrow_forwardA uniform beam of mass m is inclined at an angle to the horizontal. Its upper end (point P) produces a 90 bend in a very rough rope tied to a wall, and its lower end rests on a rough floor (Fig. P12.35). Let s represent the coefficient of static friction between beam and floor. Assume s is less than the cotangent of . (a) Find an expression for the maximum mass M that can be suspended from the top before the beam slips.

- Figure P12.13 shows a claw hammer being used to pull a nail out of a horizontal board. The mass of the hammer is 1.00 kg. A force of 150 N is exerted horizontally as shown, and the nail does not yet move relative to the board. Find (a) the force exerted by the hammer claws on the nail and (b) the force exerted by the surface on the point of contact with the hammer head. Assume the force the hammer exerts on the nail is parallel to the nail. Figure P12.13arrow_forwardFigure P12.38 shows a light truss formed from three struts lying in a plane and joined by three smooth hinge pins at their ends. The truss supports a downward force of F=1000N applied at the point B. The truss has negligible weight. The piers at A and C are smooth. (a) Given 1 = 30.0 and 2 = 45.0, find nA and nC. (b) One can show that the force any strut exerts on a pin must be directed along the length of the strut as a force of tension or compression. Use that fact to identify the directions of the forces that the struts exert on the pins joining them. Find the force of tension or of compression in each of the three bars. Figure P12.38arrow_forwardYou are attending a county fair with your friend from your physics class. While walking around the fairgrounds, you discover a new game of skill. A thin rod of mass M = 0.500 kg and length = 2.00 m hangs from a friction-free pivot at its upper end as shown in Figure P11.43. The front surface of the rod is covered with Velcro. You are to throw a Velcro-covered ball of mass m = 1.0 kg at the rod in an attempt to make it swing backward and rotate all the way across the top. The ball must stick to the rod at all times after striking it. If you cause the rod to rotate over the top position, you win a stuffed animal. Your friend volunteers to try his luck. He feels that the most torque would be applied to the rod by striking it at its lowest end. While he prepares to aim at the lowest point on the rod, you calculate how fast he must throw the ball to win the stuffed animal with this technique. Figure P11.43arrow_forward
